Famous quotes containing the words support, race and/or tragedy:

    For the support of this declaration we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, & our sacred honour.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    ...I am an abolitionist for the sake of my own race—Contact with the African degenerates our white race—I find the association with them injurious to my child—keenly as I watch to prevent it & his faithful nurse to help me ... She is a good woman & so are many of them—Still the race is a degraded one ...
    Elizabeth Blair Lee (1818–?)

    You can write anything you want to,—a six-act blank verse, symbolic tragedy or a vulgar short, short story. Just so that you write it with honesty and gusto, and do not try to make somebody believe that you are smarter than you are. What’s the use? You can never be smarter than you are.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
