Famous quotes containing the words black and/or madonna:
“Better have a black face than be worried about black deeds.”
—Robert N. Lee, and Rowland V. Lee. Tom Clink (Ernest Cossart)
“In our minds lives the madonna image—the all-embracing, all- giving tranquil mother of a Raphael painting, one child at her breast, another at her feet; a woman fulfilled, one who asks nothing more than to nurture and nourish. This creature of fantasy, this myth, is the model—the unattainable ideal against which women measure, not only their performance, but their feelings about being mothers.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
