Narrow Black

Famous quotes containing the words narrow and/or black:

“When a village ceases to be a community, it becomes oppressive in its narrow conformity. So one becomes an individual and migrates to the city. There, finding others likeminded, one re- establishes a village community. Nowadays only New Yorkers are yokels.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

“Swing low swing low sweet sweet chariot.
Nothing but a plain black boy.”
