Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flag:
“Live and let live, believe and let believe.
‘Twas said the lesser gods were only traits
Of the one awful God. Just so the saints
Are God’s white light refracted into colors.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
—Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
