Sorrows/career

Famous quotes containing the words sorrows and/or career:

Inclines to think there is a God,
Or something very like Him.”

“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
