Race Faces

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or faces:

    The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass,
    I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign’d by God’s name.
    And I leave them where they are, for I know that wheresoe’er I go,
    Others will punctually come for ever and ever.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
