Endurance Races

Famous quotes containing the words endurance and/or races:

“Tortures are a dangerous invention, and seem to be a test of endurance rather than of truth.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
—Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
