White Female

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or female:

“But could a dream send up through onion fumes
Its white and violet, fight with fried potatoes
And yesterday’s garbage ripening in the hall,
Flutter, or sing an aria down these rooms
Even if we were willing to let it in,”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Let God be some tribal female who is known but forbidden.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
