White Inhabitants

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or inhabitants:

“I’m a prodigal son. The black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.”
—William A. Drake (1900–1965)

“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)
