Famous quotes containing the words race and/or sky:
“What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings—they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
“The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
