Black Pawn

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or pawn:

“A black pall, you know, with a silver cross on it, or R.I.P.—requiescat in pace—you know. That seems to me the most beautiful expression—I like it much better than ‘He is a jolly good fellow,’ which is simply rowdy.”

Even the pawn must hold a grudge.”
