White Inhabitants

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or inhabitants:

“Boom, steal the pygmies,
Boom, kill the Arabs,
Boom, kill the white men,”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
