Country Male Artist

Famous quotes containing the words country, male and/or artist:

    Think of what our Nation stands for,
    Books from Boots’ and country lanes,
    Free speech, free passes, class distinction,
    Democracy and proper drains.
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    ...I am who I am because I’m a black female.... When I was health director in Arkansas ... I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.
    Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

    An artist is always alone—if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
