Famous quotes containing the words native and/or brotherhood:
“Boys dream of native girls who bring breadfruit,
Whatever they are....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism—that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners. In the democracy of the caffè or the street the great question of our life has been solved, and the brotherhood of man is a reality. But it is accomplished at the expense of the sisterhood of women.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
