Jump Race

Famous quotes containing the words jump and/or race:

    “If my head hurt a hair’s foot
    Pack back the downed bone. If the unpricked ball of my breath
    Bump on a spout let the bubbles jump out....”
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    ...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)
