Racing Meet

Famous quotes containing the words racing and/or meet:

“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

“He smiles
and all the effrontery of all my race
rises to meet his smiling, cynical face,
and all my effrontery and all my wiles
blanch and wither
beside his enchanting smiles.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
