Perfect Black Body

Famous quotes containing the words perfect, black and/or body:

    “The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “There are three kinds of people:
    White people, Colored people
    and Black people.”
    —Peter Abrahams (b. 1919)

    ““... And maybe we are all the same
    Where no candles are,
    And maybe we are all the same
    That strip the body bare.”
    O my dear, O my dear.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
