Ken Venturi - Amateur Wins

Famous quotes containing the words amateur and/or wins:

“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)

“The grand style arises when beauty wins a victory over the monstrous.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
