Race Held

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or held:

“When at last in a race a new principle appears, an idea—that conserves it; ideas only save races.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The earth is not earth but a stone,
Not the mother that held men as they fell
But stone, but like a stone, no: not
The mother, but an oppressor, but like
An oppressor that grudges them their death,
As it grudges the living that they live.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
