Famous quotes containing the words exchange and/or rate:
“I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymers had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my loves side because my Heart went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like theyre killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. Wed not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”
—Spike Lee (b. 1956)
