Famous quotes containing the words african, cup and/or nations:

    “The writer in me can look as far as an African-American woman and stop. Often that writer looks through the African-American woman. Race is a layer of being, but not a culmination.”
    —Thylias Moss, African American poet. As quoted in the Wall Street Journal (May 12, 1994)

    “Sunday morning may be cheery enough, with its extra cup of coffee and litter of Sunday newspapers, but there is always hanging over it the ominous threat of 3 P.M., when the sun gets around to the back windows and life stops dead in its tracks.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “The day of small nations has long passed away. The day of Empires has come.”
    —Joseph Chamberlain (1836–1914)
