Famous quotes containing the word red:

    “The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath—the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench.”
    —Attributed to Seattle (c. 1784–1866)
