Light Colored

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or colored:

    For as change is horror,
    Virtue is really stubbornness
    And only in the light of lost words
    Can we imagine our rewards.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    If a liberal policy towards the late Rebels is adopted, the ultra Republicans are opposed to it; if the colored people are honored, the extremists of the other wing cry out against it. I suspect I am right in both cases.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
