Famous quotes containing the word black:
“Thus while I sit and sigh the day
With all his borrow’d lights away,
Till night’s black wings do overtake me,
Thinking on thee, thy beauties then,
As sudden lights do sleepy men,
So they by their bright rays awake me.”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
“A white face goes with a white mind. Occasionally a black face goes with a white mind. Very seldom a white face will have a black mind.”
—Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
