Famous quotes containing the word ring:
“I started out very quiet and I beat Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat de Maupassant. Ive fought two draws with Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobodys going to get me in any ring with Tolstoy unless Im crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
