Famous quotes containing the words football and/or news:
“People stress the violence. Thats the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it theres a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. Theres a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, theres a satisfaction to the game that cant be duplicated. Theres a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“It is not the purpose of literature to purvey news. For news consult the Almanac de Gotha.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
