American Race Walking

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

    I should think the American admiration of five-minute tourists has done more to kill the sacredness of old European beauty and aspiration than multitudes of bombs would have done.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Many times man lives and dies
    Betweeen his two eternities,
    That of race and that of soul,
    And ancient Ireland knew it all.
    Whether man die in his bed
    Or the rifle knocks him dead,
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And they both went a walking to Blackberry Fold.
    —Unknown. Squire and Milkmaid; or, Blackberry Fold (l. 20)
