Famous quotes containing the words national, college and/or match:
“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the tough guy; today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.”
—Ellen Glasgow (18731945)
“here
to this college on the hill above Harlem
I am the only colored student in my class.”
—Langston Hughes (19021967)
“Seducing ones neighbor to a good opinion and then afterwards believing devoutly in this neighbors opinionwho can match women in this clever ploy?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
