Famous quotes containing the word stamps:
“What is the worst of woes that wait on age?
What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?
To view each loved one blotted from life’s page,
And be alone on earth, as I am now.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“In Stamps the segregation was so complete that most Black children didn’t really, absolutely know what whites looked like.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
