Famous quotes containing the words won and/or sparring:
“The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.”

“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
