Famous quotes containing the words black and/or powder:
“In night when colours all to black are cast,
Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
Gives vain alarums to the inward sense”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
“Any gentleman with the slightest chic will give a girl a fifty dollar bill for the powder room.”
