Famous quotes containing the words north and/or carolina:

    “The Moon’s the North Wind’s cooky,”
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

    “I hear ... foreigners, who would boycott an employer if he hired a colored workman, complain of wrong and oppression, of low wages and long hours, clamoring for eight-hour systems ... ah, come with me, I feel like saying, I can show you workingmen’s wrong and workingmen’s toil which, could it speak, would send up a wail that might be heard from the Potomac to the Rio Grande; and should it unite and act, would shake this country from Carolina to California.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
