Alien

Famous quotes containing the word alien:

“The Jew is neither a newcomer nor an alien in this country or on this continent; his Americanism is as original and ancient as that of any race or people with the exception of the American Indian and other aborigines. He came in the caravels of Columbus, and he knocked at the gates of New Amsterdam only thirty-five years after the Pilgrim Fathers stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock.”
—Oscar Solomon Straus (1850–1926)

“I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.”
—Terence (c. 190–159 B.C.)

“We are women. We are a subject people who have inherited an alien culture.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
