Famous quotes containing the words rare and/or stamps:

    “Rare virtues are like rare plants or animals, things that have not been able to hold their own in the world. A virtue to be serviceable must, like gold, be alloyed with some commoner but more durable metal.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “In Stamps the segregation was so complete that most Black children didn’t really, absolutely know what whites looked like.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
