Famous quotes containing the words black and/or women:
“In night when colours all to black are cast,
Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
Gives vain alarums to the inward sense”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
“... till women are more rationally educated, the progress of human virtue and improvement in knowledge must receive continual checks.”
