Famous quotes containing the words amateur, radio and/or union:

    “The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
    —Freya Stark (1893–1993)

    “A bibulation of sports writers, a yammer of radio announcers, a guilt of umpires, an indigence of writers.”
    —Walter Wellesley (Red)

    “Castro couldn’t even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
