Small Black Powder

Famous quotes containing the words small, black and/or powder:

    It is the small doubts of timid souls that accomplish their ruin. It is the narrow vision, the fear and trembling hesitation, that constitute defeat.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    My little ‘bout-town gal has gone
    ‘Bout town with powder and blue dye
    On her pale lids....
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
