Black Pants

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or pants:

    “Of course I’m a black writer.... I’m not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer aren’t marginal anymore. We have to acknowledge that the thing we call “literature” is more pluralistic now, just as society ought to be. The melting pot never worked. We ought to be able to accept on equal terms everybody from the Hassidim to Walter Lippmann, from the Rastafarians to Ralph Bunche.”
    —Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

    “There was a young fellow called Lancelot
    Whom his neighbors all looked on askance a lot.
    Whenever he’d pass
    A presentable lass,
    The front of his pants would advance a lot.”
    —Anonymous.
