World Colored

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or colored:

“Not in vain the distance beacons. Forward let us range,
Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of
change.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“...you don’t have to be as good as white people, you have to be better or the best. When Negroes are average, they fail, unless they are very, very lucky. Now, if you’re average and white, honey, you can go far. Just look at Dan Quayle. If that boy was colored he’d be washing dishes somewhere.”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
