Acquainted

Famous quotes containing the word acquainted:

“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

“Let me tell you I am better acquainted with you for a long absence, as men are with themselves for a long affliction: absence does but hold off a friend, to make one see him the truer.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“I am well acquainted with your manner of wrenching the true
cause the false way.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
