Color Sets

Famous quotes containing the words color and/or sets:

“When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone. When someone else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men I say that intelligence has never saved anyone: and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)

“I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.”
—W.R. (William Ralph)
