Famous quotes containing the word white:
“I don’t have any doubts that there will be a place for progressive white people in this country in the future. I think the paranoia common among white people is very unfounded.

“I know thee not, old man. Fall to thy prayers.
How ill white hairs becomes a fool and jester!”
