| | Maya Angelou |  | As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them. |
| | Tyra Banks | | Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door? |
| | Bell Hooks | | I feel enormously blessed to be a successful black woman writer in this culture, but I have found my small fame, such as it is, to be very isolating... because I think that especially for black women, the more we rise from the bottom, the more we move and journey, the more we are the targets of the most brutal and vicious attacks. |
| | J. J. Jackson | | Generally, the aggregated conditions of older Black women which were prevalent when they were younger continue into old age, merely becoming more exacerbated. |
| | Wilma Rudolph | | I know black women in Tennessee who have worked all their lives, from the time they were twelve years old to the day they died. These women don't listen to the women's liberation rhetoric because they know that it's nothing but a bunch of white women who had certain life-styles and who want to change those life-styles. |
| | Wilma Rudolph | | They say things like they don't want men opening doors for them anymore, and they don't want men lighting their cigarettes for them anymore. Big deal. Black women have been opening doors for themselves and lighting their own cigarettes for a couple centuries in this country. Black women don't quibble about things that are not important. |
| | Barbara Smith | | A major problem for Black women, and all people of color, when we are challenged to oppose anti-Semitism, is our profound scepticism that white people can actually be oppressed. |
| | Barbara Smith | | Black women as a group have never been fools. We couldn't afford to be. |
| | Barbara Smith | | Black women, whose experience is unique, are seldom recognized as a particular social-cultural entity and are seldom thought to be important enough for serious scholarly consideration. |
| | Alice Walker | | It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower Is to bloom. |
