Famous quotes containing the words black and/or hawk:

    There are three kinds of people:
    White people, Colored people
    and Black people.
    Peter Abrahams (b. 1919)

    “What tumbling cloud did you cleave,
    Yellow-eyed hawk of the mind,
    Last evening? that I, who had sat
    Dumbfounded before a knave,
    Should give to my friend
    A pretence of wit.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
