Race Weekends

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or weekends:

    Before we shall again behold
    In his diurnal race the world’s great eye,
    We may as silent be and cold
    As are the shades where buried lovers lie.
    Sir William Davenant (1606–1668)

    Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
