Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or racing:
“One evening I sat Beauty on my kneesAnd I found her bitterAnd I reviled her.”
—Arthur Rimbaud (18541891)
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they dont get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goats cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
