American Race Walking

Famous quotes containing the words american, race and/or walking:

    The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn’t got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    No person who examines and reflects, can avoid seeing that there is but one race of people on the earth, who differ from each other only according to the soil and the climate in which they live.
    —J.G. (John Gabriel)

    I am walking over hot coals suspended over a deep pit at the bottom of which are a large number of vipers baring their fangs.
    John Major (b. 1943)
