European Brown Bear

Famous quotes containing the words european, brown and/or bear:

“European society has always been divided into classes in a way that American society never has been. A European writer considers himself to be part of an old and honorable tradition—of intellectual activity, of letters—and his choice of a vocation does not cause him any uneasy wonder as to whether or not it will cost him all his friends. But this tradition does not exist in America.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)

“Whippersnapper clerks
Call us out of our name
We got to say mister
To spindling boys”
—Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)

“Make me to see’t, or at the least so prove it
That the probation bear no hinge nor loop
To hang a doubt on.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
