Black Quotes

I’m a dark blonde, yes. I dyed my hair blue, then black, when I was 14. I thought the colour was more flattering and matched my skin tone. I don’t think I’d ever change back unless it was for a film Picture Quote #1

My favourite pool is located in a remote valley in the eastern Lake District, surrounded by vine-hung cliffs and slippery boulders. It has a torrential sheet waterfall at one end and is almost black in colour, so it appears bottomless, a portal to nowhere Picture Quote #1

White... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white Picture Quote #1

I’m not a painter by any stretch of the imagination; I’m a dyed-in-the-wool traditional illustrator, and I begin with black and white. If I need colour, I add it over the top. There’s a calligraphic element to it... it’s about the texture of lines on the page Picture Quote #1

There are never any absolutes in the fashion business: one day you may like black, and the next day you like colour. I think it’s a good lesson that we should never believe too much in any one thing - because the next day it’s out, and if we’re stuck to it, we’re out, too Picture Quote #1

There needs to be more film directors of colour. They bandy about the word ‘diversity’ a lot, but when I say ‘of colour,’ I mean Asian, black - I mean people of all colour. We need to have those voices given the opportunity, not told that their films will not be distributed or will not sell well abroad Picture Quote #1

I have always liked black and white! It is simple and the colour of the piano Picture Quote #1

Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black Picture Quote #1

Black is always elegant. It is the most complete colour in the whole world, made of all the colours in the palette Picture Quote #1

We have a black President in the United States. I think the world has matured. It’s no longer about colour, but the person in the skin Picture Quote #1

The day of the wedding went like these things generally do, full of anxious moments interspersed with black comedy Picture Quote #1

Yeah, even a black comedy. Where it’s a little eerie. I’d love to do that. But there are about three really fabulous ones on the air now and I don’t know if I can do any better than that. I’d like to sort of forge new ground Picture Quote #1

I set out to do a horror film with ‘Dog Soldiers,’ and what I came out with at the end of the day was something that was more of a cult movie, more of a black comedy with some horror elements in it. It kind of went over the top Picture Quote #1

When I first started doing comedy, there was no such thing as a room that had black people and white people in it. That didn’t exist Picture Quote #1

Ever since the romantic comedy-drama ‘She’s Gotta Have It’ antagonized black women and black men in 1986, Spike Lee’s films have enjoyed the outrage of various groups Picture Quote #1

My comedy has no color, it’s for everybody, black, white, Latino, Asian. It’s not a pro-black show, not a def jam show; it’s just straight, wholesome type of humor Picture Quote #1

We should not have drug laws or a court system that disproportionately punishes the black community Picture Quote #1

The black community has been the foundation of the progressive community in this country for a long time Picture Quote #1

That’s how we do it in the black community; we give back to the people who made us who we are. We never forget that Picture Quote #1

The first time that I was elected I was called the Judas Iscariot of the black community because I took a stand that was inconsistent of cutting across the grain Picture Quote #1

A lot of joblessness in the black community doesn’t seem to be reachable through fiscal and monetary policies. People have not been drawn into the labor market even during periods of economic recovery Picture Quote #1

Michael Jordan brings millions of dollars when he shows up in an arena. Since money is how we judge people, he’s very valuable. But while that’s happening, Rome is burning within the black community Picture Quote #1

The first point was we wanted power to determine our own destiny in our own black community. And what we had done is, we wanted to write a program that was straightforward to the people. We didn’t want to give a long dissertation Picture Quote #1

Blackness is a state of mind, and I identify with the black community. Mainly, because I realized, early on, when I walk into a room, people see a black woman, they don’t see a white woman. So out of that reason alone, I identify more with the black community Picture Quote #1

The Democratic Party has taken the black community for granted and said, ‘This is the most loyal constituency we have. They’re not going anywhere.’ But the Republican Party has said, ‘That’s the most loyal constituency Democrats have. They’re not going anywhere. We’ve got to win without them.’ Picture Quote #1

Governmental intervention and personal responsibility are not mutually exclusive issues, but they do frame a ‘do it ourselves’ vs. ‘what are you doing for us’ debate. For the black community, that’s a debate that’s been raging at least as far back as the W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington philosophical grudge matches Picture Quote #1

The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn’t have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river Picture Quote #1

We have to launch a national campaign against homophobia in the black community, Picture Quote #1

Atheistic evolution isn’t an intelligent belief, as atheists would have the black community believe Picture Quote #1
