Famous quotes containing the words black, bears and/or rarely:
“We are all androgynous, not only because we are all born of a woman impregnated by the seed of a man but because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other—male in female, female in male, white in black and black in white. We are a part of each other. Many of my countrymen appear to find this fact exceedingly inconvenient and even unfair, and so, very often, do I. But none of us can do anything about it.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“My slumber broken and my doublet torn,
I find the laurel also bears a thorn.”
—Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
“Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
