Famous quotes containing the words white and/or earth:

    I’m a prodigal son. The black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.
    William A. Drake (1900–1965)

    All you of Earth are idiots!... First was your firecracker, a harmless explosive. Then your hand grenade. They begin to kill your own people a few at a time. Then the bomb. Then a larger bomb, many people are killed at one time. Then your scientists stumbled upon the atom bomb—split the atom. Then the hydrogen bomb, where you actually explode the air itself.
    Edward D. Wood, Jr. (1922–1978)
