Man Named

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or named:

    ‘Twant for powder an’ for store bought hair,
    De man ah love would not gone no where, no where.
    W.C. Handy (1873–1958)

    Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly “forgot it” and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
