Famous quotes containing the words black and/or legion:

    Stars, hide your fires;
    Let not light see my black and deep desires!
    The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be
    Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I am sometimes told that “Women aint fit to vote. Why, don’t you know that a woman had seven devils in her: and do you suppose a woman is fit to rule the nation?” Seven devils aint no account; a man had a legion in him.
    Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883)
