Colored Stones Include

Famous quotes containing the words colored, stones and/or include:

“There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about colored women, and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before. So I’m for keeping the thing going while things are stirring; because if we wait till it is still, it will take a great while to get it going again.”
—Sojourner Truth (1797–1883)

“The writing of a poem is like a child throwing stones into a mineshaft. You compose first, then you listen for the reverberation.”
