White Moon

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or moon:

    The white dominant culture seemed to think that once the Indians were off the reservations, they’d eventually become like everybody else. But they aren’t like everybody else. When the Indianness is drummed out of them, they are turned into hopeless drunks on skid row.
    Elizabeth Morris (b. c. 1933)

    They are as neat as a wallet,
    opening and closing on their coins,
    the quarters, the nickels,
    straight into the crapper.
    Why shouldn’t I pull down my pants
    and moon the executioner....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
