Term Starts

Famous quotes containing the words term and/or starts:

“I am a colored woman or a Negro woman. Either one is OK. People dislike those words now. Today these use this term African American. It wouldn’t occur to me to use that. I prefer to think of myself as an American, that’s all!”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)

“For now we take the floor
Quite unremarked-on, and I feel once more
That silent beckoning from you verify
All I remember weaker, but
Something in me starts toppling.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
