Famous quotes containing the words wrong and/or view:
““Medusa, come, we’ll turn him into stone,” they shouted all together glaring down, “how wrong we were to let off Theseus lightly!””
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)
“‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
“Their color is a diabolic die.”
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.”
—Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)
