I took to wearing a black tie known as the Ascot, with long drooping ends. I had seen pictures of painters, sculptors, poets, wearing this style of tie.
Carl Sandburg

When I was writing pretty poor poetry, this girl with midnight black hair told me to go on.
Carl Sandburg

To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of him, dispossess him of his shadow, drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle around the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light.
Jean Baudrillard

Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.
Coretta Scott King

You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Harrison Ford

Any time you stop looking at evil as a black and white thing, it's helpful. So the fact that there won't be any obligatory Islamic terrorist stereotypes in movies any more, that'd be helpful.
John Cusack

Invention flags, his brain goes muddy, and black despair succeeds brown study.
William Congreve

My son don't have to say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud. He don't have to be called those crazy names.
James Brown

I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.
Halle Berry

I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else or as smart, or whatever.
Halle Berry

I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.
Peter Steele

Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
Theodor Adorno

Black people should have recognition for themselves and their backgrounds and their relationships with other people in the world and thus lose some of their alienation. This museum has certainly stood for that in this town.
Katherine Dunham

I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.
Tina Turner

I know the difference between black magic and white magic.
Tina Turner

Black is not a color.
Edouard Manet

NBC was trying to convert all of their local programming to color right away to encourage the sale of the sets, so I barely remember working in black and white, although I do know that I did do it, but there was not a major difference, though.
Jim Henson

I do remember doing shows strictly in black and white, too, so you're right.
Jim Henson

When I was studying... there weren't any black concert pianists. My choices were intuitive, and I had the technique to do it. People have heard my music and heard the classic in it, so I have become known as a black classical pianist.
Nina Simone

I think the rich are too rich and the poor are too poor. I don't think the black people are going to rise at all; I think most of them are going to die.
Nina Simone
