Famous quotes containing the words races and, races, creatures, dark and/or materials:

    Now different races and nationalities cherish different ideals of society that stink in each other’s nostrils with an offensiveness beyond the power of any but the most monstrous private deed.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    While the white man keeps the impetus of his own proud, onward march, the dark races will yield and serve, perforce. But let the white man once have a misgiving about his own leadership, and the dark races will at once attack him, to pull him down into the old gulfs.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    To a joke, then, I owe my first gleam of consciousness—which again has recapitulatory implications, since the first creatures on earth to become aware of time were also the first creatures to smile.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Between the dark and the daylight,
    When the night is beginning to lower,
    Comes a pause in the day’s occupations,
    That is known as the Children’s Hour.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Kicking his mother until she let go of his soul
    Has given his a healthy appetite: clearly, her role
    In the New Order must be
    To supply and deliver his raw materials free;
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
