Famous quotes containing the words diana and/or melo:

    I don’t have any doubts that there will be a place for progressive white people in this country in the future. I think the paranoia common among white people is very unfounded. I have always organized my life so that I could focus on political work. That’s all I want to do, and that’s all that makes me happy.

    his fear of the word “veil”;
    and in the shape of a ship,
    still another who slept.
