Famous quotes containing the words descent and/or group:
“There is Hawthorne, with genius so shrinking and rare
That you hardly at first see the strength that is there;
A frame so robust, with a nature so sweet,
So earnest, so graceful, so lithe and so fleet,
Is worth a descent from Olympus to meet;”
—James Russell Lowell (18191891)
“The boys think they can all be athletes, and the girls think they can all be singers. Thats the way to fame and success. ...as a group blacks must give up their illusions.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
