Famous quotes containing the words white and/or river:
“A decent chap, a real good sort,
Straight as a die, one of the best,
A brick, a trump, a proper sport,
Head and shoulders above the rest;
How many lives would have been duller
Had he not been here below?
Heres to the whitest man I know
Though white is not my favourite colour.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Cole Thornton: Just a minute, son.
Mississippi: I am not your son. My name is Alan Bourdillon Traherne.
Cole: Lord almighty.
Mississippi: Yeah, well, thats why most people call me Mississippi. I was born on the river in a flatboat.”
—Leigh Brackett (19151978)
