Famous quotes containing the word type:

    They had supposed their formula was fixed.
    They had obeyed instructions to devise
    A type of cold, a type of hooded gaze.
    But when the Negroes came they were perplexed.
    These Negroes looked like men....
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    It used to be said that you had to know what was happening in America because it gave us a glimpse of our future. Today, the rest of America, and after that Europe, had better heed what happens in California, for it already reveals the type of civilisation that is in store for all of us.
    Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
