Black Quotes

The little platoon of the black community is the church. Our Christian faith is based on individual freedom from sin and the personal decision to find spiritual liberty that leads to a better life here on Earth and for eternity. On Sundays in America, the most conservative people can be found in black churches Picture Quote #1

And I ask why am I black, they say I was born in sin, and shamed inequity. One of the main songs we used to sing in church makes me sick, ‘love wash me and I shall be whiter than snow Picture Quote #1

The Italians are very unmusical. If I go to a Protestant church in London or Amsterdam or listen to a black choir, I hear four-part harmony. Italians could never do that. In Italy, we all have to sing the melody because we cannot harmonise Picture Quote #1

Many people take exception to me and say that I’m doing black magic and things they can’t do at church. But I’m doing magic that started their church Picture Quote #1

The liberal psyche wants to protect minorities, to apologize for imperialism, colonialism, slavery, and the appalling treatment of black people during the civil rights movement. At the same time, they want to continue to defend the rights of individuals Picture Quote #1

I got out of the Army - in my world - I came to New York, for instance, when the civil rights movement was just beginning, and that created a certain energy, a certain rumble, a certain impetus for black actors Picture Quote #1

If Barack Obama now, or some black person in the future, should become president, neither Jesse Jackson nor Al Sharpton would be out of a job. A black president can’t end black misery; a black president can’t be a civil rights leader or primarily a crusader for racial justice Picture Quote #1

Senator John Stennis: The civil rights movement did more to free the white man that the black man. ... It freed my soul Picture Quote #1

The black power movement was not a separation from the civil rights movement, but a continuation of this whole process of democratization Picture Quote #1

Yet civil rights issues are very much on the front burner in South Carolina between the Black Lives Matter movement and police shootings Picture Quote #1

The environment is the most important, the most fundamental, civil-rights issue.... Four out of every five toxic-waste dumps in America is in a black neighborhood Picture Quote #1

Everybody was wearing rhinestones, all those sparkly clothes, and cowboy boots. I decided to wear a black shirt and pants and see if I could get by with it. I did and I’ve worn black clothes ever since Picture Quote #1

I’d spent way more years worrying about how to look like a poet -- buying black clothes, smearing on scarlet lipstick, languidly draping myself over thrift-store furniture -- than I had learning how to assemble words in some discernible order Picture Quote #1

At 50, I thought proudly: Here we are, half century! Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black Afro wig, wore black clothes and hung a black wreath on my door Picture Quote #1

To me, goth is like really hard black lipstick, black nails, black clothes Picture Quote #1

Almost every labourer has his Sunday suit, very often really good clothes, sometimes glossy black, with the regulation ‘chimney pot’. His unfortunate walk betrays him, dress how he will Picture Quote #1

If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you’re not participating in your own style personality Picture Quote #1

The clothes chosen for me as a child had a strong element of the Pre-Raphaelite, muted greens and ivories, dusty rose, what seems in retrospect an eccentric amount of black Picture Quote #1

I was a total floral hippie as a child so when I finally could make my own choices, I’ve been living in different black suit jackets and been really drawn to masculine clothes Picture Quote #1

A deep, black grief gripped Robert Kennedy in the months following his brother’s assassination. He lost weight, fell into melancholy silences, wore his brother’s clothes, smoked the cigars his brother had liked, and imitated his mannerisms Picture Quote #1

A perfectly fitted sheath dress that can take you from day to night is something that every woman should have in her closet. You can’t go wrong with black, but a little bit of color is nice. I love a lot of color, personally. You can accessorize a sheath dress. Look at how Michelle Obama accessorizes clothes to make them her own Picture Quote #1

Dating meant nightclubs, heels, and black. It meant, No, thank you. Really, I’m full. It meant matching bras and underwear. Clothes with the word MICRO used to describe them Picture Quote #1

Black coffee is the latest fad I have picked up. Then there are my endless cups of chai! I’m trying to cut down and keep it to no more than three cups a day Picture Quote #1

Loneliness is black coffee and late-night television; solitude is herb tea and soft music Picture Quote #1

Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after Picture Quote #1

No matter how much strong black coffee we drink, almost any after- dinner speech will counteract it Picture Quote #1

Black coffee’s a lot like whiskey, you know? All devil and no trimmin’s. Always liked my sins pure and take it as it comes Picture Quote #1

I’ve never drunk coffee. I’m convinced it has something to do with why my skin is good. I have either mint, green or black tea Picture Quote #1

Pink is my favourite colour. I used to say my favourite colour was black to be cool, but it is pink - all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink Picture Quote #1

I think it’s because it was an emotional story, and emotions come through much stronger in black and white. Colour is distracting in a way, it pleases the eye but it doesn’t necessarily reach the heart Picture Quote #1
