Race

Famous quotes containing the word race:

    Ought we to smile,
    Perhaps make friends? No: in the race for seats
    You’re best alone. Friendship is not worth while.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I’ve always wondered why European politicians as a group seemed brighter than American politicians as a group. Maybe it’s because many American politicians have the race issue to fall back on. They become lazy, suspicious of innovative ideas, and as a result American institutions atrophy.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
    Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
