Famous quotes containing the words grape and/or history:

“I am a cowboy in the boat of Ra. Lord of the lash,
the Loup Garou Kid. Half breed son of Pisces and

the dirty boogie with scorpions. I make the bulls
keep still and was the first swinger to grape the taste.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
