Black Oil Shale

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or oil:

“...black women write differently from white women. This is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female. It’s not so much that women write differently from men, but that black women write differently from white women. Black men don’t write very differently from white men.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

“It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanism of friendship.”
