Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or chamberlain:

    I’m beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of death among Americans. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you, and so those who can neither read nor write lead miserable lives, like Richard Wright’s character, Bigger Thomas, born dead with no past or future.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    The day of small nations has long passed away. The day of Empires has come.
    —Joseph Chamberlain (1836–1914)
