White Persons Born

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

    A decent chap, a real good sort,
    Straight as a die, one of the best,
    A brick, a trump, a proper sport,
    Head and shoulders above the rest;
    How many lives would have been duller
    Had he not been here below?
    Here’s to the whitest man I know
    Though white is not my favourite colour.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    The novel is born of disillusionment; the poem, of despair.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)
