Famous quotes containing the words coloured and/or ivory:

    The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    It’s wonderful how I jog
    on four-honed-down ivory toes
    my massive buttocks slipping
    like oiled parts with each light step.
    Philip Levine (b. 1928)
