White Huns

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or huns:

    “The symmetrical piles of white bodies,
    the round white breast-shapes of the heaps,
    the smell of the smoke, the dogs the wires the
    rope the hunger. It had happened to others.
    There was a word for us. I was: a Jew.”
    —Sharon Olds (b. 1942)
