Famous quotes containing the words kiss and/or players:
“But his kiss was so sweet, and so closely he pressed,
That I languished and pined till I granted the rest.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
