Famous quotes containing the words crazy, white and/or man:
“Though lads are making pikes again
For some conspiracy,

At human tyranny;
My contemplations are of Time....”

Comb me smooth, and stroke my head;
And every hair a sheave shall be,
And every sheave a golden tree.”

“The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practise politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
