Famous quotes containing the words big, ten, conference, men and/or basketball:
“The teeming Autumn big with rich increase,
Bearing the wanton burden of the prime
Like widowed wombs after their lords’ decease.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Smile and feel ten years younger; worry and get grey hair.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“The more intelligent one is, the more men of originality one finds. Ordinary people find no difference between men.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“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)
