True Black

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or black:

“It is only the unimaginative who ever invents. The true artist is known by the use he makes of what he annexes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“Stories of law violations are weighed on a different set of scales in the Black mind than in the white. Petty crimes embarrass the community and many people wistfully wonder why Negroes don’t rob more banks, embezzle more funds and employ graft in the unions.... This ... appeals particularly to one who is unable to compete legally with his fellow citizens.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
