Famous quotes containing the words horse, race and/or run:
“We would not always be soothing and taming nature, breaking the horse and the ox, but sometimes ride the horse wild and chase the buffalo.”

“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the “tough guy;” today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“It’s no good comin’ to me. I can’t help you. Nobody can help you. I don’t want any help. I just want to ... I just want to sit down and rest. I can’t ... run ... anymore.”
—Jo Eisinger, and Jules Dassin. Anna O’Leary (Maureen Delaney)
