Championship Vertical Race

Famous quotes containing the words vertical and/or race:

    “I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
    That only men incredulous of despair,
    Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
    Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access
    Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness,
    In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare
    Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
    Of the absolute Heavens.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “But for the national welfare, it is urgent to realize that the minorities do think, and think about something other than the race problem.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
