Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    “In the American metaphysic, reality is always material reality, hard, resistant, unformed, impenetrable, and unpleasant.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

    “In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
