If you’re not at the front, you’re not in the race.

Thank God for immigrants. They’re the only ones who have any personality left. They still allow themselves emotions, judgments, and all those qualities that we are “evolving” past. I don’t know what they’re saying, but...

It kind of gets in your head about how you’re going to end up after this race, … I don’t think we’re as good as we were here last time. … We’ll do our best,...

I just think the way Tommy looks at a race car, the way he looks at a race is different than anything I’ve ever been used to.

Alexa and the other guests, and perhaps even Georgina, all understood the fleeing from war, from the kind of poverty that crushed human souls, but they would not understand the need to escape from the...

Race doesn’t determine the quality of one’s heart; one’s mental programming does.

It is not that we have class prejudice, but only that we find comfort and ease in our own class. And normally there are plenty of people of our own class, or race, or religion...

When I lived on the Bluff in Yokohama I spend a good deal of my leisure in the company of foreign residents, at their banquets and balls. At close range I was not particularly struck...

I think everybody hurts everybody in this race.

I’d made it this far and refused to give up because all my life I had always finished the race.

I just had that kick at the end. We worked together for the first two laps, but it’s anybody’s race after that.

People run away from the love game because they know they won’t win the race.

We are real black characters with real character, not the stars of American racist spectacle. Blackness is not probable cause.

A ‘white’ kid that asks too many questions is called *curious.* A ‘black’ kid that asks too many questions is called *forward.*

While America will always, I think, feel foreign to me, New York City is my home. This is where I can construct my own identity freely and reject labels imposed on me.

The answer depends on your definition of racism.” If one defines racism as racial prejudice, the answer is yes. People of color can and do have racial prejudices. However, if one defines racism as a...

It was my last race, and I just wanted to give everything I had because there wasn’t another race left.

My hats off to Todd, he ran a good race. I just finished second, what can you say. We ran really good.

He ran a fantastic race. Blood and guts all the way to the wire. He’s a fantastic racehorse. I wasn’t looking for the lead, but my horse was keen and I didn’t want to get...

Didn’t you just love it?” And no, I didn’t love it. For in many ways the film was a graphic documentary portrait of the way in which colonized black people (in this case black gay...

She had such a huge lead. We were all just in awe as we watched her race.

Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.

For years, I declined to fill in the form for my Senate press credential that asked me to state my ‘race,’ unless I was permitted to put ‘human.’ The form had to be completed under...

I needed Paul in the race, not only because he is my competitor but because he is my friend. When I see him run, I can learn a lot from him. When he ran the...

In my quest to find Green Cottenham, I also discovered an unsettling truth that when white Americans frankly peel back the layers of our commingled pasts, we are all marked by it. Whether a company...

I want the attorney general to remove Mr. Penn from the council race until such time as he does not possess a conflict of interest as outlined in my complaint.

That which now calls itself democracy differs from older forms of government solely in that it drives with new horses: the streets are still the same old streets, and the wheels are likewise the same...

We passed the second-place car, and then ran away from him [late in the race]. So if you paid real close attention to what happened today — well, I don’t know if I can explain...

It was kind of boring for me because I was all alone out front, but it was a good race. I did my best time for the year, so I am happy with that. There...

Tell her that you love her hair, that you love her skin, her lips, because, in truth, you love them more than you love your own.

The decision must be made between Judaism and Christianity, between business and culture, between male and female, between the race and the individual, between unworhtiness and worth, between the earthly and the higher life, between...

I tried to get away from him, to get to that door, but instead I backed up against the wall and was stuck there in that white, white room.

I used to believe in ’em [lines]. I don’t anymore. They in our heads. People like Miss Hilly is always trying to make us believe they there. But they ain’t.” – Aibileen

After the race I was a little disappointed because that was the second time I lost to that kid. I thought maybe if it was on a different track I could have beaten that kid,...

So many voters are undecided that it’s still a wide-open race.

Our objective is to win the (ALMS) championship. It’s the way we take each race and the way we run the team.

Anything can happen in a classical race. I wish it was like this every time because it raises the intensity.

The same thing happened (in the street-course race) in St. Petersburg (Fla.), and for sure it will happen again next month at Watkins Glen (N.Y.). You don’t have to have the fastest car; you just...

The point is that racism is the product of tribalism and ignorance and both are falling victim to communications and world-around literacy

You can’t wish for more fuel. The fact is, the package we started the race with ended up costing us.

As I’ve been telling your, son, you get nowhere looking at clothes and the color of the skin to judge a man. It won’t tell you nothing about what’s inside. That’s where a fellow’s mettle...

Trying to be white? What the hell does that mean? I’ve never understood that. How could anyone be white when they aren’t white? Seems like a simple enough thing to prove, right? Hold out your...

I saw a documentary on the Naadam festival that happens in Mongolia during the summer. One of the features of it is a horse race across the plains that all the young men enter –...

They, they, they. That was the problem with people like Joyce. They talked about the richness of their multicultural heritage and it sounded real good, until you noticed that they avoided black people. It wasn’t...

I concentrate on preparing to swim my race and let the other swimmers think about me, not me about them.

He had no racial feeling—not because he was superior to his brother civilians, but because he had matured in a different atmosphere, where the herd instinct does not flourish.

I always root for the black man, like penance for something I had not part in creating.

Guys are going to have to race their guts out to pass.

It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.

By unspoken agreement, we all picked an invisible line in the cracked asphalt and toed it.
