Famous quotes containing the words race and/or city:
“When at last in a race a new principle appears, an idea—that conserves it; ideas only save races.”

“I counted two and seventy stenches,
All well defined and several stinks!
Ye Nymphs that reign o’er sewers and sinks,
The river Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne;
But tell me, Nymphs! what power divine
Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?”
