Famous quotes containing the words black and/or bottom:
“I put on
the body-armor of black rubber
the absurd flippers
the grave and awkward mask.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered, and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done to him. It is this above all that is sacred in every human being.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
