Light Skin

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or skin:

“As, therefore, we can have no dependence upon morality without religion;Mso, on the other hand, there is nothing better to be expected from religion without morality;Mnevertheless, ‘tis no prodigy to see a man whose real moral character stands very low, who yet entertains the highest notion of himself, in the light of a religious man.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“Nor skin nor hide nor fleece
shall cover you,
nor curtain of crimson nor fine
shelter of cedar-wood be over you,
nor the fir-tree
nor the pine.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
