White South

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or south:

“The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, and Balanchine ballets don’t redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.”
