South Orange

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or orange:

“The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.”

“A hook shot kisses the rim and
hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump

perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession”
