Famous quotes containing the words black and/or set:
“We have what I would call educational genocide. Im concerned about learning totally, but Im immersed in the disastrous record of how many black kids are going into science. They are very few and far between. Ive said that when I see more black students in the laboratories than I see on the football field, Ill be happy.”
—Jewel Plummer Cobb (b. 1924)
“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each others affairs, who come out together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (19031974)
