Man Tt Races

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or races:

    Povert ful ofte, whan a man is lowe,
    Maketh his God and eek himself to knowe.
    Povert a spectacle is, as thinketh me,
    Thurgh which he may his verray frendes see.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.
    Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
