Play Black

Famous quotes containing the words play and/or black:

“Anyone who seeks to destroy the passions instead of controlling them is trying to play the angel.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

“It’s perversion. Don’t you see what it is? It’s not natural. To go to great expense for something you want, that’s natural. To reach out to take it, that’s human, that’s natural. But to get your pleasure from not taking, from cheating yourself deliberately like my brother did today, from not getting, from not taking. Don’t you see what a black thing that is for a man to do? How it is to hate yourself?”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
