Great rolls of toilet paper arc like ejaculate through the black sycamores. ~ Garth Risk Hallberg
Black Sycamores quotes by Garth Risk Hallberg
Things are not quite so simple always as black and white. ~ Doris Lessing
Black Sycamores quotes by Doris Lessing
Genetically, I'm pure Greek. Psychologically, environmentally, culturally, by choice, I'm a member of the black community. ~ Johnny Otis
Black Sycamores quotes by Johnny Otis
Ding! Ding! Ding! I tapped the brass bell in rapid succession until Violet bustled in from the back room, wearing the blue-and-white pinafore that was the SugarWerks's uniform and a frown that was not. The same age as Nic and I, Violet wore her amethyst hair spiked and a brass gearring stud on the left side of her nose. On one set of knuckles, BAKE was tattooed in elaborate black calligraphy; CAKE was on the other. Today she had an aquamarine bow pinned to the top of her head, a silver cupcake and crossbones marking the spot between the two loops of ribbon. ~ Lisa Mantchev
Black Sycamores quotes by Lisa Mantchev
Where Goldwater-ites saw the world in black and white, Rockefeller noted shades of gray. ~ Jon Meacham
Black Sycamores quotes by Jon Meacham
Ebonics - or black English, as I prefer to call it - is one of a great many dialects of English. And so English comes in a great many varieties, and black English is one of them. ~ John McWhorter
Black Sycamores quotes by John McWhorter
But at the time I didn't know that it would take more to escape black-and-white thinking than just no longer attending your parents' church. The church had provided me a sorting system, which was now ingrained. It had containers into which every person and idea and event was to be placed. ~ Nadia Bolz-Weber
Black Sycamores quotes by Nadia Bolz-Weber
White supremacist ideology is based first and foremost on the degradation of black bodies in order to control them. One of the best ways to instill fear in people is to terrorize them. Yet this fear is best sustained by convincing them that their bodies are ugly, their intellect is inherently underdeveloped, their culture is less civilized, and their future warrants less concern than that of other peoples. ~ Cornel West
Black Sycamores quotes by Cornel West
Overhead, the wild huntsman of the storm passed continuously in one blare of mingled noises; screaming wind, straining timber, lashing rope's end, pounding block and bursting sea contributed; and I could have thought there was at times another, a more piercing, a more human note, that dominated all, like the wailing of an angel; I could have thought I knew the angel's name, and that his wings were black. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Black Sycamores quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
There was a Sears, Roebuck catalogue painfully twisted and shellacked and tied with a red cord. The white card beneath it said, An inexpensive doorstop." ... There were catsup bottles made into bud vases, closthespins decorated with crepe paper butterflies for use as curtin hold-backers, crocheted bags for silverware, bouquets of crepe paper and velvet flowers, an enormous funeral set piece of white organdy gardenias and dark green oilcloth leaves with REST IN PEACE spelled out in white pipe cleaners, embroidered pictures, burned wood match boxes, and fancy pillows by the hundreds. The pillows embraced every sentiment from FRANKY AND JOHNNY WERE LOVERS in black beads on a cerise satin background to the Twenty-Third Psalm in white on black velvet. It was an impressive exhibit of what loneliness can do to people. ~ Betty McDonald
Black Sycamores quotes by Betty McDonald
When it was all over, Kit thankfully slipped away, avoiding the washing-up after dinner, and found himself a quiet spot under the front portico of the house. The air blowing off the desert was cool and spiced, and the ocean gleamed under the stars, a sheet of deep black that ended in a series of unfurling white waves. ~ Cassandra Clare
Black Sycamores quotes by Cassandra Clare
I think desire is the most powerful force in the universe. ~ Carol Plum-Ucci
Black Sycamores quotes by Carol Plum-Ucci
I've never been one to throw clubs, break clubs, or use bad language on the golf course. I've played with golfers who've done that, and I really hate to see it. If I did something like that, my dad would come get the putter and hit me upside the head with it. I knew better. ~ Lucas Black
Black Sycamores quotes by Lucas Black
When something bad happens to us, especially when we are young, our brains will sometimes protect us from it until we are strong enough to deal with the issue. It's not uncommon for people to completely black out an experience for years and revisit it only when they feel safe enough to face it. ~ Gwen Hayes
Black Sycamores quotes by Gwen Hayes
Where are the leaders?' Sapphique asked.
'In the fortresses,' the swan replied.
'And the poets?'
'Lost in dreams of other worlds.'
'And the craftsmen?'
'Forging machines to challenge the darkness.'
'And the Wise, who made the world?'
The swan lowered its black neck sadly.
'Dwindled to crones and sorcerers in towers. ~ Catherine Fisher
Black Sycamores quotes by Catherine Fisher
When I was a teenager, black pride became newly popular again. Suddenly a lot of black people were wearing the fake kente cloth and red black and green and Bob Marley. That was sort of my window into finding my own identity as a black person. ~ W. Kamau Bell
Black Sycamores quotes by W. Kamau Bell
Giulio and Maria have a beautiful apartment, the most impressive feature of which is, to my mind, the wall that Maria once covered with angry curses against Giulio (scrawled in black magic marker) because they were having an argument and 'he yells louder than me' and she wanted to get a word in edgewise. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Black Sycamores quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
'To Kill a Mockingbird' is really two stories. One is a coming-of-age tale told from the point of view of Scout Finch, a girl of about nine, and her slightly older brother, Jem. The second story concerns their father, attorney Atticus Finch, who has been appointed to defend a black man, Tom Robinson, falsely accused of raping a white woman. ~ Charles J. Shields
Black Sycamores quotes by Charles J. Shields
I've been a lawyer in Detroit for a lot of years. I've seen the system up close and personal. I've seen the charging differences, the sentencing differences, blacks in white towns harassed and pulled over for the crime of simply being there and being black. ~ Mark M. Bello
Black Sycamores quotes by Mark M. Bello
We do not share much in the U.S. culture of individualism except our delusions about meritocracy. God help my people, but I can talk to hundreds of black folks who have been systematically separated from their money, citizenship, and personhood and hear at least eighty stories about how no one is to blame but themselves. That is not about black people being black but about people being American. That is what we do. ~ Tressie McMillan Cottom
Black Sycamores quotes by Tressie McMillan Cottom
I don't think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I'm being effective, because I'm not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change. ~ Al Sharpton
Black Sycamores quotes by Al Sharpton
But George Lucas is carrying about Black actors, about Black men, about Black history, which really incorporates and tells all of history. You can't take one race out without eliminating every other race if you're going to tell the story of the human race. ~ Terrence Howard
Black Sycamores quotes by Terrence Howard
... If one who slays one is a murderer then he who slays a thousand is not a hero,' said Lalu.
- Pg. #112, Across the Black Waters. ~ Mullk Raj Anand
Black Sycamores quotes by Mullk Raj Anand
We grew up in a very strange world, because my mother was up against it all when she had three black children. ~ Jaye Davidson
Black Sycamores quotes by Jaye Davidson
And you, Sarah Jacobi" - he pointed to a woman with white robes and spiky black hair - "you were sent to Antarctica for causing the tsunami in the Indian Ocean. ~ Rick Riordan
Black Sycamores quotes by Rick Riordan
When some guy shows up with a shopping bag full of records and CD's and wants me to sign every one plus fifteen pieces of blank paper I wonder what the hell is he doing with all of that? ~ Jimmy Carl Black
Black Sycamores quotes by Jimmy Carl Black
Your circumstances may be black, but Scripture says that God is light. Trust in him, and he will give you a comeback. He will give you a fresh start. He will give you a change of heart and provide a powerful spiritual turnaround. He is with you in the midst of the valley of the shadow of death, and I invite you to praise him and trust his purposes for your life. ~ Louie Giglio
Black Sycamores quotes by Louie Giglio
We live in a corrupted little world where people see everything in black and white. But I see it all. In bright and vibrant colours. ~ Kassi Jo
Black Sycamores quotes by Kassi Jo
Thus from beneath the black veil there rolled a cloud into the sunshine, an ambiguity of sin or sorrow, which enveloped the poor minister, so that love or sympathy could never reach him. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Black Sycamores quotes by Nathaniel Hawthorne
1
Cain lifts Crow, that heavy black bird
and strikes down Abel.

Damn, says Crow, I guess
this is just the beginning.

2
The white man, disguised
as a falcon, swoops in
and yet again steals a salmon
from Crow's talons.

Damn, says Crow, if I could swim
I would have fled this country years ago.

3
The Crow God as depicted
in all of the reliable Crow bibles
looks exactly like a Crow.

Damn, says Crow, this makes it
so much easier to worship myself.

4
Among the ashes of Jericho,
Crow sacrifices his firstborn son.

Damn, says Crow, a million nests
are soaked with blood.

5
When Crows fight Crows
the sky fills with beaks and talons.

Damn, says Crow, it's raining feathers.

6
Crow flies around the reservation
and collects empty beer bottles

but they are so heavy
he can only carry one at a time.

So, one by one, he returns them
but gets only five cents a bottle.

Damn, says Crow, redemption
is not easy.

7
Crow rides a pale horse
into a crowded powwow
but none of the Indian panic.

Damn, says Crow, I guess
they already live near the end of the world. ~ Sherman Alexie
Black Sycamores quotes by Sherman Alexie
Don't matter if you was or wasn't. All they gotta so is say you was. That's all they gotta do. You think cuz you all big and muscled up, you safe? Naw, dem white folks can't stand the sight of you. Walkin' round free as can be. Don't nobody want to see a black man look like you walkin' proud as a peacock. Like you ain't got a lick of fear in you ~ Yaa Gyasi
Black Sycamores quotes by Yaa Gyasi
At forty feet, the sky is entirely black, but now starlight bleeds faintly down into the forest from between rushing gray clouds. ~ Ned Hayes
Black Sycamores quotes by Ned Hayes
This propaganda of dis-associating Western Negroes from Africa is not a new one. For many years white propagandists have been printing tons of literature to impress scattered Ethiopia, especially that portion within their civilization, with the idea that Africa is a despised place, inhabited by savages, and cannibals, where no civilized human being should go, especially black civilized human beings. This propaganda is promulgated for the cause that is being realized today. That cause is COLONIAL EXPANSION for the white nations of the world. ~ Marcus Garvey
Black Sycamores quotes by Marcus Garvey
I don't believe in luck; that is why I let black cats cross my path before facing any challenge. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Black Sycamores quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Where there's black, even grey looks white, ~ Sergei Lukyanenko
Black Sycamores quotes by Sergei Lukyanenko
Black bears rarely attack. But here's the thing. Sometimes they do. All bears are agile, cunning and immensely strong, and they are always hungry. If they want to kill you and eat you, they can, and pretty much whenever they want. That doesn't happen often, but - and here is the absolutely salient point - once would be enough. ~ Bill Bryson
Black Sycamores quotes by Bill Bryson
For the most part I write very stream of consciousness. I basically need to be recording an entire writing session because it's almost like I black out and just start singing whatever is on my mind and forget it as soon as I stop. ~ Beth Moore
Black Sycamores quotes by Beth Moore
I just want a hot cup of coffee,black,and I don't want to hear about your troubles. ~ Charles Bukowski
Black Sycamores quotes by Charles Bukowski
I was neither black enough for the black kids or Dominican enough for the Dominican kids. I didn't have a safe category. ~ Junot Diaz
Black Sycamores quotes by Junot Diaz
[They] had geared themselves for wealth, excitement, and violent combat, so they fought and played feverishly in the enervating heat, exploited the labor of white servants and black slaves, risked sudden death from mysterious diseases or the annihilation of their profits in smashing storms and buccaneering raids. The expectations the English brought with them and the physical conditions they encountered in the islands produced a hectic mode of life that had no counterpart at home or elsewhere in English experience. This is what it meant to live beyond the line. ~ Richard Dunn
Black Sycamores quotes by Richard Dunn
A nice adaptation of conditions will make almost any hypothesis agree with the phenomena. This will please the imagination but does not advance our knowledge. ~ Joseph Black
Black Sycamores quotes by Joseph Black
I am a feminist, and what that means to me is much the same as the meaning of the fact that I am Black; it means that I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect. ~ June Jordan
Black Sycamores quotes by June Jordan
She stretched out her hand, saying, "Vernon! My dear, what a delightful surprise!"
"What's surprising about it?" he enquired, lifting his black brows. "Didn't you ask me to come?"
The smile remained pinned to Lady Buxted's lips, but she replied with more than a touch of acidity: "To be sure I did, but so many days ago that I supposed you had gone out of town!"
"Oh, no!" he said, returning her smile with one of great sweetness. ~ Georgette Heyer
Black Sycamores quotes by Georgette Heyer
Is distinctive black culture the cause of economic disparity between whites and blacks or merely the reflection of it? ~ Steven D. Levitt
Black Sycamores quotes by Steven D. Levitt
Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves. It fails to register depression with me. ~ Zora Neale Hurston
Black Sycamores quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
I feel like you can't judge a book by its cover, that's always been the story of my life. I can walk into any restaurant and people would be floored to learn that I know what I do about wine, let alone that I ran one of the best wine programs in the world. ~ Andre Hueston Mack
Black Sycamores quotes by Andre Hueston Mack
Gideon marvelled that someone could live in the universe only seventeen years and yet wear black and sneer with such ancient self-assurance. ~ Tamsyn Muir
Black Sycamores quotes by Tamsyn Muir
The whistle dropped from the branch's spindly fingers like a black cocoon, a pendulum of secret music; the wind pushed sound soundlessly around. ~ Karen Russell
Black Sycamores quotes by Karen Russell
You see that honky McNamara on television? He says, "Yes, we are going to draft thirty percent of the Negroes in the Army. This is where they can have equal opportunity. Yeah. Yes ... it's true that they are only ten percent of the population, but this is a better chance for them." When that honky talk about drafting thirty percent black people, he's talking about black urban removal - nothing else. ~ Stokely Carmichael
