White Persons Born

Famous quotes containing the words white, persons and/or born:

    But could a dream send up through onion fumes
    Its white and violet, fight with fried potatoes
    And yesterday’s garbage ripening in the hall,
    Flutter, or sing an aria down these rooms
    Even if we were willing to let it in,
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    There are some persons we could not cut down to size without diminishing ourselves as well.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    Every morn and every night
    Some to misery are born.
    Every morn and every night
    Some are born to sweet delight.
    Some are born to sweet delight,
    Some are born to endless night.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
