Tiger Skin

Famous quotes containing the words tiger and/or skin:

    Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    At first I said, “I will not bear
    His cross upon my back;
    He only seeks to place it there
    Because my skin is black.”
    Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
