Famous quotes containing the word sport:

    “Drag racing is a sport of egos, and it’s all male egos.”
    —Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney (b. 1940)

    ““Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Æschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess. And the d’Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
    The End”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
