Indian Origin Settled

Famous quotes containing the words indian, origin and/or settled:

    The Indian resists curiosity by a stony silence. The Negro offers a featherbed resistance. That is, we let the probe enter, but it never comes out. It gets smothered under a lot of laughter and pleasantries.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    Someone had literally run to earth
    In an old cellar hole in a byroad
    The origin of all the family there.
    Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
    That now not all the houses left in town
    Made shift to shelter them without the help
    Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
