Famous quotes containing the words race, ethnic and/or groups:

    “This race is never grateful: from the first,
    One fills their cup at supper with pure wine,
    Which back they give at cross-time on a sponge,
    In bitter vinegar.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “Motherhood is the second oldest profession in the world. It never questions age, height, religious preference, health, political affiliation, citizenship, morality, ethnic background, marital status, economic level, convenience, or previous experience.”
    —Erma Bombeck (20th century)

    “Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
