Race Held

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or held:

“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.”

“Then moved my Fingers off
As cautiously as Glass
And held my ears, and like a Thief
Fled gasping from the House—”
