York Red

Famous quotes containing the words york and/or red:

“New York was a new and strange world. Vast, impersonal, merciless.... Always before I had felt like a person, an individual, hopeful that I could mold my life according to some desire of my own. But here in New York I was ignorant, insignificant, unimportant—one in millions whose destiny concerned no one. New York did not even know of my existence. Nor did it care.”
—Agnes Smedley (1890–1950)

“O land and soil, red soil and sweet-gum tree,
So scant of grass, so profligate of pines,”
—Jean Toomer (1894–1967)
