Borne

Famous quotes containing the word borne:

“Collective guilt is borne by what is conventionally called the scapegoat. Now the scapegoat for white society—which is based on myths of progress, civilization, liberalism, education, enlightenment, refinement—will be precisely the force that opposes the expansion and the triumph of these myths. This brutal opposing force is supplied by the Negro.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)

“This miserable state is borne by the wretched souls of those who lived without disgrace and without praise.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

“The oldest hath borne most; we that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
