White

Famous quotes containing the word white:

“To many women marriage is only this. It is merely a physical change impinging on their ordinary nature, leaving their mentality untouched, their self-possession intact. They are not burnt by even the red fire of physical passion—far less by the white fire of love.”
—Mary Webb (1881–1927)

“Native always means people who belong somewhere else, because they had once belonged somewhere. That shows that the white race does not really think they belong anywhere because they think of everybody else as native.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

“Retreat was out of hope,—
Behind, a sealed route,
Eternity’s white flag before,
And God at every gate.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
