“Regarding the idea of race, .. no agreement seems to exist about what race means. Race seems to embody a fact as simple and as obvious as the noonday sun, but if that is so, why the endless wrangling about the idea and the facts of race. What is a race? How can it be recognized? Who constitute the several races?.” IfsMeanIdeasFactsSeemsSimpleRaceSunObviousEndlessAgreementWrangling Author:Jacques Barzun

“Poetry is one of the ancient arts, and it began, as did all the fine arts, within the original wilderness of the earth.

“Ordinary men, to whom all things are possible, don't often, if ever, think of Heaven. It is a name, and nothing more, and they are content to wait and let things be, but to those who are doomed to be shut out for ever you cannot think what it means, you cannot guess or measure the terrible endless longing to see the gates opened, and to be able to join the white figures within.” IfsThinkingMenMeanAbleNamesHeavenWaitingWhiteFiguresTerribleOrdinaryAll ThingsLongingEndlessGatesDoomedOrdinary Man Book:Dracula's Guest: & Other Stories Source: Dracula's Guest: & Other Stories
