Famous quotes containing the words tribal and/or groups:

    “What is this conversation, now secular,
    A speech not mine yet speaking for me in
    The heaving jelly of my tribal air?
    It rises in the throat, it climbs the tongue,
    It perches there for secret tutelage....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
