Black Quotes

I always look on the black side of life. That way, you won’t be disappointed and I’m cheerful if it doesn’t work out. I’m a cheerful pessimist Picture Quote #1

Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black and white, always expected to produce music Picture Quote #1

The black family unit that had survived 150 years of slavery was decimated in less than 30 years by welfare payments that stopped if the family structure remained intact Picture Quote #1

When I first started writing plays I couldn’t write good dialogue because I didn’t respect how black people talked. I thought that in order to make art out of their dialogue I had to change it, make it into something different. Once I learned to value and respect my characters, I could really hear them. I let them start talking Picture Quote #1

Perhaps if human desire is said out loud, the urban planes, the prisons, the architectural mirrors will take off, as airplanes do. The black planes will take off into the night air and the night winds, sliding past and behind each other, zooming, turning and turning in the redness of the winds, living, never to return Picture Quote #1

His blood is black and boiling hot, he gurgles ghastly groans. He’ll cook you in his dinner pot, your skin, your flesh, your bones Picture Quote #1

She comes by night, in fearsome flight, in garments black as pitch, the queen of doom upon her broom, the wild and wicked witch Picture Quote #1

I have never figured out how women work but I do know that their skin color has no significance. Black or white, every last one is pretty pink on the inside and they are all impossible Picture Quote #1

When a black person has no electricity, no water, they call it the ghetto. When white people have no electricity and no water, they call it camping Picture Quote #1

When white people wear baggy clothing and speak gibberish they’re homeless, when black people wear baggy clothing and speak gibberish they’re called rappers Picture Quote #1

I don’t think being black has held me back at all. Being black makes you strong Picture Quote #1

I stood looking down through the beech trees. When I threw a stone I could count to five before the splash. Then I jumped in a rush of gold to the head, through black and cold, red and cold, brown and warm, giving water the weight and size of myself in order to imagine it, water with my bones, water with my mouth and my understanding. When my body was in some way a wave to swim in, one continuous fin from head to tail, I steered through rapids like a canoe, digging my hands in, keeping just ahead of the river Picture Quote #1

The material of typography is the black, and it is the designer’s task with the help of this black to capture space, to create harmonious whites inside the letters as well as between them Picture Quote #1

The way a source strains toward the light, toward the air. Its laboring work, its effort, its black passageways like despair. That’s the way a poet looks for words. With muscles, gestures Picture Quote #1

If travel has momentum and wants to stay in motion, as I mentioned earlier, then adventure has the gravitational pull of a black hole. The more you do it, the more you find a way to keep doing it Picture Quote #1

Guilt is cancer. Guilt will confine you, torture you, destroy you as an artist. It’s a black wall. It’s a thief Picture Quote #1

Black women have had to develop a larger vision of our society than perhaps any other group. They have had to understand white men, white women, and black men. And they have had to understand themselves. When black women win victories, it is a boost for virtually every segment of society Picture Quote #1

Black absorbs all color, accepts them, takes them into it and let them define it. Gray isn’t anything but itself. It absorbs nothing but itself Picture Quote #1

Anyone can wear any color. The question is about finding the right shade. There is a momentary trend to dark colors because when the financials are not that great, people go for black, navy and grey Picture Quote #1

You can wear black in any moment of the day, no matter your age. You can wear black with almost any occasion. A black dress is essential for every woman Picture Quote #1

One can take a neon tube and simply paint it black on the front. So it would read as a black letter or a line, but it would also read as neon because there would be light coming from behind that black letter Picture Quote #1

If theres a black cat that crosses the street in my path, I will turn around and walk 20 minutes out of my way to not cross it Picture Quote #1

There is a black which is old and a black which is fresh. Lustrous black and dull black, black in sunlight and black in shadow Picture Quote #1

I can’t wait for the oil wells to run dry, for the last gob of black, sticky muck to come oozing out of some remote well. Then the glory of sail will return Picture Quote #1

Some people like living in black and white worlds. Let them stay there. Appreciate all the colors you see in your world though Picture Quote #1

Many musicians are fabulously skilled at playing the black dots on the printed page, but mystified by how the dots got there in the first place and apprehensive of playing without dots. Music theory does not help here; it teaches rules of the grammar, but not what to say. When people ask me how to improvise, only a little of what I can say is about music. The real story is about spontaneous expression, and it is therefore a spiritual and a psychological story rather than a story about the technique of one art form or another Picture Quote #1

It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to? Picture Quote #1

In tragedy, it’s hard to find a good resolution; it’s not black and white: it’s a big fog of gray Picture Quote #1

It’s good to play something that’s black and white, and a guy that sees right and wrong. I’ve never played a character like that Picture Quote #1

In movies we tend make things black and white: you’re either this, or you’re that Picture Quote #1
