Politics of Marshall

Famous quotes containing the words politics of, politics and/or marshall:

    The politics of the exile are fever,
    revenge, daydream,
    theater of the aging convalescent.

    You wait and wait.

    She might have been old once and now, miraculously, young again—but with the memory of that other life intact. She seemed to know the world down there in the dark hall and beyond for what it was. Yet knowing, she still longed to leave this safe, sunlit place at the top of the house for the challenge there.
    —Paule Marshall (b. 1929)
