White Stone Marked

Famous quotes containing the words white, stone and/or marked:

    As if that hand
    squeezing crow’s blood
    against a white sky
    beside an idiot’s laughing face
    were real.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    You may talk about Free Love, if you please, but we are to have the right to vote. To-day we are fined, imprisoned, and hanged, without a jury trial by our peers. You shall not cheat us by getting us off to talk about something else. When we get the suffrage, then you may taunt us with anything you please, and we will then talk about it as long as you please.
    —Lucy Stone (1818–1893)

    I realized how for all of us who came of age in the late sixties and early seventies the war was a defining experience. You went or you didn’t, but the fact of it and the decisions it forced us to make marked us for the rest of our lives, just as the depression and World War II had marked my parents.
    Linda Grant (b. 1949)
