Black Quotes

I photographed the entire thing in color because to photograph it in black and white would be to keep it as a tragedy. Because there is a tragic element to photographing, in this case not war, but the collapse. It was just destruction Picture Quote #1

Back in my time, and I sound old now, it was black and white boots and that was it. Now you’ve got snoods, people wearing headphones when they’re doing interviews, which I find disrespectful. Pink boots, green boots, you name it, even tights. They’ll be wearing skirts next Picture Quote #1

Football is mesmerizing, because it’s a figurative war. You go in one direction till you get there, but you get there as a team, not as an individual. Players bond whether they’re black or white, much as soldiers do Picture Quote #1

I was out training one black night when I heard a noise. I turned around and saw a leopard. I threw some stones at him and he went away, so I went on my way Picture Quote #1

Homophobia is easier for black people where black people are concerned. They feel they have the right to correct me on my behavior. There is this notion that homosexuality is something that white people do Picture Quote #1

I just felt as though I would never be happy again, and as if I had fallen into a big black hole Picture Quote #1

I understand that life is not black and white, everything has a different hand, lots of them, I act according to the situation Picture Quote #1

Yes. The way people behave, the paradoxes, the contradictions. All these things we have to live with and still pretend that everything is only black or white. That, I think, is the most interesting thing in human nature. The fact that we have to do one thing and pretend something else. That’s when it becomes very interesting. If you can literally speak the way you feel, then it’s not interesting anymore. It’s when you have to lie that it becomes interesting Picture Quote #1

You know when you make popcorn there are always those fluffy white kernels that are fun and good to eat but there are also always those burnt, black kernels that don’t pop. You know why they don’t pop? Because they have integrity Picture Quote #1

And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I’m a beautiful, black butterfly Picture Quote #1

Let’s just say its not a stereotype that black women are less submissive and harder to deal with. Being around all them black women made me really miss my wife Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a black sheep. That’s a hard thing to be until you find your calling in life. I was bullied a lot at school, probably because I was perceived to be different from everyone else Picture Quote #1

I play a slave. How black is that? I have to wear chains. How whack is that? But don’t worry. I get free. I save my wife and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that? Picture Quote #1

It’s a good feeling, that you can put your heart out there, no matter how black it is, and people can understand it Picture Quote #1

Why does every black person in the movies have to play a servant? How about a black person walking up the steps of a courthouse carrying a briefcase? Picture Quote #1

I went to an historically black college where we’re always told that there’s limitation. And so I’m happy to represent for black colleges Picture Quote #1

Do you realize how much better the world would be if we all just treated each other the same way black dudes treat magicians? Picture Quote #1

In school tests, there’s only one answer for each question, and you might get zero or half points if you’re wrong. But in the real world, things aren’t so black and white, so think about things on your own and express them in words or pictures. That’s how you communicate with people. That’s so important Picture Quote #1

It never occurred to me that I was hired because I was black. But it did occur to me that because I was black it would give a different historic element to the film Picture Quote #1

Whether you’re gay, straight, black, white, we all deserve the same rights. If there’s anything I can do to champion the cause and further it, I will, shy of getting arrested Picture Quote #1

This impeccably researched study of the classic black insult game may be the funniest work of serious scholarship ever published Picture Quote #1

When I was perceived as a black man I became a threat to public safety. When I was dressed as myself, it was my safety that was threatened Picture Quote #1

Large men in black plate mail with red cloaks and plumes don’t sneak worth a damn Picture Quote #1

I built a conglomerate and emerged the richest black man in the world in 2008 but it didn’t happen overnight. It took me 30 years to get to where I am today. Youths of today aspire to be like me but they want to achieve it overnight. It’s not going to work. To build a successful business, you must start small and dream big. In the journey of entrepreneurship, tenacity of purpose is supreme Picture Quote #1

People who lose children have their hearts warped into weird shapes. Some try to deny it has happened. Some pretend it hasn’t. Losing friends or parents is not the same. To lose a child is beyond comprehension. It defies biology. It contradicts the natural order of history and genealogy. It derails common sense. It violates time. It creates a huge, black, bottomless hole that swallows all hope Picture Quote #1

In the beginning, I found myself dealing with a show business dictated by male white supremacists and chauvinists. As a black female, I had to learn how to tap dance around the situation. I had to... find a way to present my point of view without being pushy or aggressive. In the old days, the only women I saw in this business were in makeup, hairdressing, and wardrobe departments. Now I’m surrounded by women executives, writers, directors, producers, and even women stagehands Picture Quote #1

I’ve always considered movies evil; the day that cinema was invented was a black day for mankind Picture Quote #1

My activism did not spring from being black... The racial injustice that was present in this country during my youth was a challenge to my belief in the oneness of the human family Picture Quote #1

I was unique in that I was a kind of black that white people could accept. I was their daydream. I had the worst kind of acceptance because it was never for how great I was or what I contributed. It was because of the way I looked Picture Quote #1

Rebirth. I mean by this simply what happens when the child begins to realise the fact that the black does not enter through the white’s front door is not in the same category as the fact that the dead will never come back Picture Quote #1
