Black Face

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or face:

    The desire of most parents is first and foremost to do what is best for their children. Every interview with a mother or father confirms this, every letter written by a parent breathes this deep-seated wish, “I hope I am doing the right thing for my child.” This is real and honest, and at the very base of parenthood.
    —Irma Simonton Black (20th century)

    In the long, sleepless watches of the night,
    A gentle face—the face of one long dead—
    Looks at me from the wall,
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
