Iranian Ancient Sport

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or sport:

    Here is the ancient floor,
    Footworn and hollowed and thin
    Here was the former door
    Where the dead feet walked in.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Rabelais, for instance, is intolerable; one chapter is better than a volume,—it may be sport to him, but it is death to us. A mere humorist, indeed, is a most unhappy man; and his readers are most unhappy also.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
