Famous quotes containing the words minds, black, men and/or chapter:
“The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don’t know what they are conserving.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
“I am black and beautiful, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 1:5.
“The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage; they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
