White Rose Society

Famous quotes containing the words white, rose and/or society:

    At middle night great cats with silver claws,
    Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
    Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
    With long white bodies came out of the air
    Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
    —Bible: Hebrew The Song of Solomon (l. II, 1)

    Nobody thanks a witty man for politeness when he accommodates himself to a society in which it is not polite to display wit.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
