Strong Players

Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or players:

“The strong arm, my lord, is no argument, though it overcomes all logic.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“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)
