Air Race World

Famous quotes containing the words air, race and/or world:

“... in this air of withering sweetness ...”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the “tough guy;” today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

“The world of crime ... is a last refuge of the authentic, uncorrupted, spontaneous event.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
