World Road Race

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

    “Life is crazy. Now, maybe you knew this all along. But before I had children, I actually held on to the illusion that there was some sense of order to the universe.... I am now convinced that we are all living in a Chagall painting—a world where brides and grooms and cows and chickens and angels and sneakers are all mixed up together, sometimes floating in the air, sometimes upside down and everywhere.”
    —Susan Lapinski (20th century)

    “But, where the road runs near the stream,
    Oft through the trees they catch a glance
    Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
    Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
    Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
    To life, to cities, and to war!”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.”
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
