World Road Race

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

“The world is eaten up by boredom.... You can’t see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it. It is sifted so fine, it doesn’t even grit on your teeth. But stand still for an instant and there it is, coating your face and hands. To shake off this drizzle of ashes you must be for ever on the go. And so people are always “on the go.””
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

“By the road to the contagious hospital
under the surge of the blue
mottled clouds driven from the
northwest—a cold wind.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

“The whole race is a poet that writes down
The eccentric propositions of its fate.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
