White South

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or south:

“Whether he cringe at my feet,
whether he beat on your eyes,
white wings, white butterflies.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
