Famous quotes containing the words white flag, white and/or flag:

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

    “It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow—red, yellow, brown, black and white—and we’re all precious in God’s sight.
    Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
