Famous quotes containing the word black:

    “It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds, the corn become a black smut, and all libraries, of necessity, be burned to the ground as a consequence. Only one answer: write carelessly so that nothing that is not green will survive.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “(The black stream, catching on a sunken rock,
    Flung backward on itself in one white wave,
    And the white water rode the black forever.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Invention flags, his brain goes muddy,
    And black despair succeeds brown study.”
    —William Congreve (1670–1729)
