Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flag:

    The white man in the tropics degenerates every day.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    —Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
    Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
    The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
    At the North Pole. . .
    And now what? Why, go back.

    Turn as I please, my step is to the south.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
