Pale Skin

Famous quotes containing the words pale and/or skin:

    “But pale despair and cold tranquillity,
    Nature’s vast frame, the web of human things,
    Birth and the grave, that are not as they were.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.”
    —Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
