Famous quotes containing the words black and/or citizens:
“All my fond love thus do I blow to heaven
‘Tis gone.
Arise, black vengeance, from the hollow hell!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
