Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    “The American suffrage movement has been, until very recently, altogether a parlor affair, absolutely detached from the economic needs of the people.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    “...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
    —Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
