Famous quotes containing the words black and/or angels:

    “The secret lies, I think, in his intimate knowledge of the people he is addressing be they black or white, and in the forthrightness with which he speaks of those things which hurt and baffle them.... He allows them their self-respect—indeed, he insists on it.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    “Ah wretched We, Poets of Earth! but Thou
    Wert Living the same Poet which thou’rt Now,
    Whilst Angels sing to thee their ayres divine,
    And joy in an applause so great as thine.
    Equal society with them to hold,
    Thou need’st not make new Songs, but say the Old.”
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
