Famous quotes containing the words south and/or wall:
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
“But I would cry,
rooted into the wall that
was once my mother,
if I could remember how
and if I had the tears.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
