World Race Walking

Famous quotes containing the words world, race and/or walking:

    “Is it not singular that, while the religious world is gradually picking to pieces its old testaments, here are some coming slowly after, on the seashore, picking up the durable relics of perhaps older books, and putting them together again?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Ah, little road, brown as my race is brown,
    Your trodden beauty like our trodden pride,
    Dust of the dust, they must not bruise you down.
    Rise to one brimming golden, spilling cry!”
    —Helene Johnson (b. 1907)

    “With monstrous head and sickening cry
    And ears like errant wings,
    The devil’s walking parody
    On all four-footed things.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
