White Dwarf Stars

Famous quotes containing the words white, dwarf and/or stars:

    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.

    A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size—take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.

    So that’s our new flag. The thing we’ve been fighting for—thirteen stripes for the colonies and thirteen stars in a circle for the union.
    Lamar Trotti (1898–1952)
