Famous quotes containing the word black:
“What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (18211881)
“Light thickens, and the crow
Makes wing to th rooky wood.
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse,
Whiles nights black agents to their preys do rouse.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I cut my teeth as the black raccoon
For implements of battle.”
—Countee Cullen (19031946)
