Narrow Black

Famous quotes containing the words narrow and/or black:

    On this narrow planet, we have only the choice between two unknown worlds. One of them tempts us—ah! what a dream, to live in that!—the other stifles us at the first breath.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)

    I came along at a time when there was a demand to give men greater visibility and opportunity. In white society they were saying, “Women can’t do it.” In black society, they were saying, “Women do too much.” It’s a diabolical situation.
    Yvonne Braithwaite Burke (b. 1932)
