Famous quotes containing the words race, ethnic and/or groups:

    “Surely, then, the gods who are most interested in the human race preside over the Tavern, where especially men congregate.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Caprice, independence and rebellion, which are opposed to the social order, are essential to the good health of an ethnic group. We shall measure the good health of this group by the number of its delinquents. Nothing is more immobilizing than the spirit of deference.”
    —Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)

    “The awareness of the all-surpassing importance of social groups is now general property in America.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
