Native Character Set

Famous quotes containing the words native, character and/or set:

    ...I have ... been guilty of watching Westerns without acknowledging that Native Americans have gone through the same madness as African Americans. Isn’t it extraordinary that sometimes the most offended have not seen others being offended?
    Judith Jamison (b. 1943)

    But boys and girls, pale from the imagined love
    Of solitary beds, knew what they were,
    That passion could bring character enough
    And pressed at midnighht in some public place
    Live lips upon a plummet-measured face.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    This is God’s country—Why set it on fire and make it look like hell?
    —For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
