Famous quotes containing the words man and/or races:
“... when the Spaniards persecuted heretics they may have been crude, but they were not being unreasonable or unpractical. They were at least wiser than the people of to-day who pretend that it does not matter what a man believes, as who should say that the flavour and digestibility of a pudding will have nothing to do with its ingredients.”
—Rebecca West (18921983)
“Arrive at New Orleans, a city of ships, steamers, flatboats, rafts, mud, fog, filth, stench, and a mixture of races and tongues. Cholera, some. [At] Planters Hotel. Mem:Never get caught in a cheap tavern in a strange city.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
