Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flag:

    “The man whose heart is as warm as a hanky soaked in ethyl chloride.”
    —Edmund White (b. 1940)

    “Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
    And shall not evening call another star
    Out of the infinite regions of the night,
    To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
    A nation among nations; and the world
    Shall soon behold in many a distant port
    Another flag unfurled!”
    —Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
