Black Women

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or women:

    “Thus Winter falls,
    A heavy gloom oppressive o’er the world
    Through Nature shedding influence malign,
    And rouses up the seeds of dark disease.
    The soul of man dies in him, loathing life,
    And black with more than melancholy views.”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “Oh, darling, let your body in,
    let it tie you in,
    in comfort.
    What I want to say, Linda,
    is that women are born twice.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
