Falling Man

Famous quotes containing the words falling and/or man:

    The shadow of a mighty Negro past flits through the tale of Ethiopia the shadowy and of the Egypt the Sphinx. Throughout history, the powers of single blacks flash here and there like falling stars, and die sometimes before the world has rightly gauged their brightness.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    Perhaps a man like you can’t realize what it is to have a conscience and no memory at all. Do you imagine it’s pleasant to be ashamed of something you can’t even remember?
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)
