Famous quotes containing the words black and/or family:

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

    Like many another romance, the romance of the family turns sour when the money runs out. If we really cared about families, we would not let “born again” patriarchs send up moral abstractions as a smokescreen for the scandal of American family economics.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
