Allowed Players

Famous quotes containing the words allowed and/or players:

“The teller of a mirthful tale has latitude allowed him. We are content with less than absolute truth.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)

“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)
