White Beans

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or beans:

    There are many humorous things in the world; among them the white man’s notion that he is less savage than the other savages.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    When my hoe tinkled against the stones, that music echoed to the woods and the sky, and was an accompaniment to my labor which yielded an instant and immeasurable crop. It was no longer beans that I hoed, nor I that hoed beans; and I remembered with as much pity as pride, if I remembered at all, my acquaintances who had gone to the city to attend the oratorios.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
