Race Seat

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or seat:

    The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My taking a seat on the Council of the Fathers caused a desperate fluttering among my ghosts.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
