Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or coat:

    “Take away an accident of pigmentation of a thin layer of our outer skin and there is no difference between me and anyone else. All we want is for that trivial difference to make no difference.”
    —Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)

    “I can sit up half the night
    With some friend that has the wit
    Not to allow his looks to tell
    When I am unintelligible.
    Fifteen apparitions have I seen;
    The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
