Black Corinth

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or corinth:

    “As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it—whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.”
    —Harper Lee (b. 1926)

    “War wreaked on you his hideous ravishment;
    We, we alone, Nereids inviolate,
    Remain to weep, with the sea-birds to chant:
    Corinth is lost, Corinth is desolate.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
