Famous quotes containing the words white and/or devil:

    “Lately
    I’ve been looking at old-fashioned plaids, fingering
    Starched white collars, wondering whether there’s a way
    To get them really white again. My wife
    Thinks I’m in Oslo—Oslo, France, that is.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
