Famous quotes containing the words professional, boxing and/or record:

    “Never be intimidated when you deal with men. Curse, don’t cry.”
    —Anonymous, U.S. professional woman. As quoted in Aspirations and Mentoring in an Academic Environment, ch. 4, by Mary Niles Maack and Joanne Passet (1994)

    “I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
    —Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    “The house seems heavier
    Now that they have gone away.
    In fact it emptied in record time.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
