Famous quotes containing the words compass and/or players:

    loosely bound
    By countless silken ties of love and thought
    To everything on earth the compass round,
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I do not like football, which I think of as a game in which two tractors approach each other from opposite directions and collide. Besides, I have contempt for a game in which players have to wear so much equipment. Men play basketball in their underwear, which seems just right to me.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
