Race Weekends

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or weekends:

    A race horse needs only a touch of the whip; a clever person needs only a hint.
    Chinese proverb.

    Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
