Colored Girls

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or girls:

“See, I’m so light, it don’t seem right
to go to the colored rest room;
my daughter’s brown, and folks frown on that in Texas,
I just don’t know how to go to the bathroom in the free world!”
—Ray Durem (1915–1963)

“To girls and wives always alive and fated;
To men and scholars always dead like Greek
And always mistranslated.”
