Famous quotes containing the words books on, books, compass and/or players:

    Some time ago a publisher told me that there are four kinds of books that seldom, if ever, lose money in the United States—first, murder stories; secondly, novels in which the heroine is forcibly overcome by the hero; thirdly, volumes on spiritualism, occultism and other such claptrap, and fourthly, books on Lincoln.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    I am positive I have a soul; nor can all the books with which materialists have pester’d the world ever convince me of the contrary.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    However closely people are attached to one another, their mutual horizon nonetheless includes all four compass directions, and now and again they notice it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
