Famous quotes containing the words color and/or struck:

    Actors work and slave—and it is the color of your hair that can determine your fate in the end.
    Helen Hayes (1900–1993)

    Our frigate takes fire,
    The other asks if we demand quarter?
    If our colors are struck and the fighting done?
    Now I laugh content for I hear the voice of my little captain,
    We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
