Famous quotes containing the words sinister and/or simian:
“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Time points the simian camera in the head
Upon confusion to be seen and seen.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
