Famous quotes containing the words sentence and/or imposed:
“The sentence must also contain its own apology for being spoken.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“...I am who I am because I’m a black female.... When I was health director in Arkansas ... I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
