Race Distance

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or distance:

“I’ve always wondered why European politicians as a group seemed brighter than American politicians as a group. Maybe it’s because many American politicians have the race issue to fall back on. They become lazy, suspicious of innovative ideas, and as a result American institutions atrophy.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

“As distance shows a horse’s strength, so time reveals a person’s heart.”
—Chinese proverb.
