White Protestant

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or protestant:

“In it he proves that all things are true and states how the truths of all contradictions may be reconciled physically, such as for example that white is black and black is white; that one can be and not be at the same time; that there can be hills without valleys; that nothingness is something and that everything, which is, is not. But take note that he proves all these unheard-of paradoxes without any fallacious or sophistical reasoning.”
—Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac (1619–1655)

“blow as he would, though it made a great noise,
The flute would play only ‘The Protestant Boys’.”
