Famous quotes containing the word races:
“The so called white races are really pinko-grey.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Behind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead. The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Now different races and nationalities cherish different ideals of society that stink in each others nostrils with an offensiveness beyond the power of any but the most monstrous private deed.”
—Rebecca West (18921983)
