Famous quotes containing the words race and/or officials:
“He seemed to be of no particular race, or, in certain lights, to belong to some race that nobody else belonged to.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary. When we take away the right to an individual name, we symbolically take away the right to be an individual. Immigration officials did this to refugees; husbands routinely do it to wives.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
