Famous quotes containing the words stone, house and/or brooklyn:
“Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?”

“The house came to be haunted by the unspoken phrase: There must be more money! There must be more money!”

“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
