Black Book

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or book:

“It was common practice for me to take my children with me whenever I went shopping, out for a walk in a white neighborhood, or just felt like going about in a white world. The reason was simple enough: if a black man is alone or with other black men, he is a threat to whites. But if he is with children, then he is harmless, adorable.”
—Gerald Early (20th century)

“It is neither the best nor the worst things in a book that defy translation.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
