Famous quotes containing the words cue and/or ball:

    Good marriages are built on respectful disagreement and back-and-forth cooperation. We learn to cue each other, fill in for each other, forgive each other’s fumbles, celebrate small victories. We revel in the realization that we’re working on something bigger than both of us, and that parenthood is not only incredibly challenging but also incredibly enriching.
    Susan Lapinski (20th century)

    The ball loved Flick.
    I saw him rack up thirty-eight or forty
    In one home game. His hands were like wild birds.
    John Updike (b. 1932)
