Bumps Races

Famous quotes containing the words bumps and/or races:

    America does to me what I knew it would do: it just bumps me.... The people charge at you like trucks coming down on you—no awareness. But one tries to dodge aside in time. Bump! bump! go the trucks. And that is human contact.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)
