Famous quotes containing the words edward and/or ball:

    Is a civilization naturally backward because it is different? Outside of cannibalism, which can be matched in this country, at least, by lynching, there is no vice and no degradation in native African customs which can begin to touch the horrors thrust upon them by white masters. Drunkenness, terrible diseases, immorality, all these things have been gifts of European civilization.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    We should burn all libraries and allow to remain only that which everyone knows by heart. A beautiful age of the legend would then begin.
    —Hugo Ball (1886–1927)
