Marked White

Famous quotes containing the words marked and/or white:

“If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“I am fifty-two years of age. I am a bishop in the Anglican Church, and a few people might be constrained to say that I was reasonably responsible. In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute—a white skin.”
—Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)
