Famous quotes containing the word setting:

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“A fit abode for a poet. Stage setting at least correct.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
