Token Black

Famous quotes containing the words token and/or black:

“The token woman carries a bouquet of hothouse celery
and a stenographer’s pad; she will take
the minutes, perk the coffee, smile
like a plastic daisy and put out
the black cat of her sensuous anger
to howl on the fence all night.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

“Invention flags, his brain goes muddy,
And black despair succeeds brown study.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
