Famous quotes containing the word races:

    “I am obliged to confess that I do not regard the abolition of slavery as a means of warding off the struggle of the two races in the Southern states. The Negroes may long remain slaves without complaining; but if they are once raised to the level of freemen, they will soon revolt at being deprived of almost all their civil rights; and as they cannot become the equals of the whites, they will speedily show themselves as enemies.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “The so called white races are really pinko-grey.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “Women are most fascinating between the ages of thirty-five and forty, after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass forty, maximum fascination can continue indefinitely.”
    —Christian Dior (1905–1957)
