Black Ravens

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or ravens:

    The realization that he is white in a black country, and respected for it, is the turning point in the expatriate’s career. He can either forget it, or capitalize on it. Most choose the latter.
    Paul Theroux (b. 1941)

    There, through the broken branches, go
    The ravens of unresting thought;
    Flying, crying, to and fro,
    Cruel claw and hungry throat,
    Or else they stand and sniff the wind....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
