Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    “If that’s the world’s smartest man, God help us.”
    —Lucille Feynman, mother of American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988)

    “People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
