White Finish

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or finish:

Behind, a sealed route,
Eternity’s white flag before,
And God at every gate.”

“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
