Dry Systems

Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or systems:

    The good die first
    And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust
    Burn to the socket.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    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)
