Minority

Famous quotes containing the word minority:

    “A city built upon mud;
    A culture built upon profit;
    Free speech nipped in the bud,
    The minority always guilty.
    Why should I want to go back
    To you, Ireland, my Ireland?”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “Time and I against any two.”
    —Spanish proverb.
