Famous quotes containing the words race and/or held:
“He seemed to be of no particular race, or, in certain lights, to belong to some race that nobody else belonged to.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“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 (18791955)
