Famous quotes containing the words white and/or cane:
“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Old rockin’ chair’s got me, cane by my side;”
—Hoagy Carmichael (1899–1981)
