Famous quotes containing the words black and/or widow:

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

    “Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
    Here’s to the widow of fifty;
    Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
    And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
    Let the toast pass,—
    Drink to the lass,
    I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
