Grand Rapids Middle

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or middle:

    If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Had middle class black women begun a movement in which they had labeled themselves “oppressed,” no one would have taken them seriously.
    bell hooks (b. 1955)
