Famous quotes containing the words game, boy and/or systems:
“Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.”
—André Maurois (18851967)
“Oh, where have you been, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?
Ive been to seek a wife,
Shes the joy of my life,
Shes a young thing, and cannot leave her mother.”
—Unknown. Billy Boy (l. 15)
“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)
