Trained Men

Famous quotes containing the words trained and/or men:

“I started out very quiet and I beat Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat de Maupassant. I’ve fought two draws with Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody’s going to get me in any ring with Tolstoy unless I’m crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

“I heard the old, old men say,
“All that’s beautiful drifts away
Like the waters.””
