Famous quotes containing the words white, rose and/or society:
“...there was the annual Fourth of July picketing at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. ...I thought it was ridiculous to have to go there in a skirt. But I did it anyway because it was something that might possibly have an effect. I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.”
—Martha Shelley, U.S. author and social activist. As quoted in Making History, part 3, by Eric Marcus (1992)
“—But he, grim grinning King,
Who caitiffs scorns, and doth the blest surprise,
Late having deck’d with beauty’s rose his tomb,
Disdains to crop a weed, and will not come.”
—William Drummond, of Hawthornden (1585–1649)
“Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
