Theres a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, theres a satisfaction to the game that cant be duplicated. Theres a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Loves the only thing Ive thought of or read about since I was knee-high. Thats what I always dreamed of, of meeting somebody and falling in love.

Instead I got drunk and hollered at her and called her a harpy.”
—Ben Hecht (18931964)
