Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or hunter:

    Like many of the Upper Class He liked the Sound of Broken Glass.
    Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)

    I don’t see black people as victims even though we are exploited. Victims are flat, one- dimensional characters, someone rolled over by a steamroller so you have a cardboard person. We are far more resilient and more rounded than that. I will go on showing there’s more to us than our being victimized. Victims are dead.
    —Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
