Famous quotes containing the words male and/or country:
“...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)
“Though it is curious here,
unusually awkward to walk.
It is without grace.
There is no rhythm
in this country of dirt.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
