Famous quotes containing the words real and/or situation:
“The Afro-American experience is the only real culture that America has. Basically, every American tries to walk, talk, dress and behave like African Americans.”
—Hugh Masakela (b. 1939)
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
