Famous quotes containing the words black and/or slaves:
“there’s a kind of lust feeds on itself
Unspoken to, unspeaking; subterranean
As a black river full of eyeless fish
Heavy with spawn; with a passion for time
Longer than the arteries of a cave.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“No, I’m Spartacus. You come to free the slaves or something?”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
