Black Women

Famous quotes containing the words black women, black and/or women:

    As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    I think what everybody calls a miracle is just common sense.... You can look at the attitudes when people come in. That’s why they call it a miracle. These are black kids and they’re not supposed to know the things they know and achieve the way they are achieving.
    Marva Nettles Collins (b. 1936)

    Never give all the heart, for love
    Will hardly seem worth thinking of
    To passionate women if it seem
    Certain, and they never dream
    That it fades out from kiss to kiss....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
