Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or races:

“The poet is he who can write some pure mythology today without the aid of posterity.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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 (1803–1882)
