Black Beard

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beard:

    To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a box.... On the box is a label, not of my own choosing.

    In England and America a beard usually means that its owner would rather be considered venerable than virile; on the continent of Europe it often means that its owner makes a special claim to virility.
