Famous quotes containing the words eating and/or conditions:

    It’s not the suffering of birth, death, love that the young reject, but the suffering of endless labor without dream, eating the spare bread in bitterness, being a slave without the security of a slave.
    Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)

    When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?
