Local Leagues

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or leagues:

“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)

“Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away.”
—Chinese proverb.
