Famous quotes containing the words clan and/or buchanan:
“We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
—Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)
“Hurrah! Hurrah for Sheridan!
Hurrah! Hurrah for horse and man!”
—Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)
