Famous quotes containing the words football and/or news:
“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)
“The good news may be that Nature is phasing out the white man, but the bad news is that’s who She thinks we all are.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
