Famous quotes containing the words atlantic, men and/or basketball:
“The Atlantic Ocean was something then.”
—John Guare (b. 1938)
“Then down, deep down, in the mighty ship, unseen by the midday
suns,
You’ll find the chaps who are giving the raps—the men behind the guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
