Additional quotes by Alistair Cooke

(The Negro) is a permanent invalid in American society. And the places he lives, whether in the town or the country, are its casualty wards. (p. 146.)

He measured all his fellow workers by the test of professionalism, and a professional is a man who can do his best work when he doesn't feel like it. - Alistair Cooke
