Modern Swing

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or swing:

“We can paint unrealistic pictures of the juggler—displaying her now as a problem-free paragon of glamour and now as a modern hag. Or we can see in the juggler a real person who strives to overcome the obstacles that nature and society put in her path and who does so with vigor and determination.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

“Swing low swing low sweet sweet chariot.
Nothing but a plain black boy.”
