Race

Famous quotes containing the word race:

    Ought we to smile,
    Perhaps make friends? No: in the race for seats
    You’re best alone. Friendship is not worth while.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    I don’t like the idea of the black race being diluted out of existence. I like the idea of all of us being here.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
