Famous quotes containing the words white and/or mane:
“There are many humorous things in the world; among them the white man’s notion that he is less savage than the other savages.”

“Her mane falls wild on her forehead,
And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear
That is delicate as the skin over a girl’s wrist.
Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom.”
—James Wright (1927–1980)
