Caused

Famous quotes containing the word caused:

    I used to be a discipline problem, which caused me embarrassment until I realized that being a discipline problem in a racist society is sometimes an honor.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    And I could see that child’s one eye
    Which seemed to laugh, and say with glee:
    ‘What caused my death you’ll never know—
    Perhaps my mother murdered me.’

    William Henry Davies (1871–1940)

    The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
