Famous quotes containing the words white, rock and/or centre:
“It was common practice for me to take my children with me whenever I went shopping, out for a walk in a white neighborhood, or just felt like going about in a white world.

—Gerald Early (20th century)
“When the rock was hid by the surges swell,
The mariners heard the warning bell,
And then they knew the perilous rock,
And blessd the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”
—Robert Southey (17741843)
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
