Lawrence on race

If I have restored to the East some self-respect, a goal, ideals: if I have made the standard of rule of white over red more exigent,  [then] I have fitted those peoples in a degree for the new commonwealth in which the dominant races will forget their brute achievements, and white and red and yellow and brown and black will stand up together without side-glances in the service of the world.

T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, The Complete 1922 Text, Chapter 1
