Famous quotes containing the words horse and/or racing:

    “And a man came out of the trees
    And took our horse by the head
    And reaching back to his ribs
    Deliberately stabbed him dead.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “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)
