Upper Darling Range

Famous quotes containing the words upper, darling and/or range:

    Chinese proverb.

    Money I had, and it went in the night,
    Strong drink I had, and it brought me to sorrow,
    But a good strong cause and blows are delight.”

    Compared to football, baseball is almost an Oriental game, minimizing individual stardom, requiring a wide range of aggressive and defensive skills, and filled with long periods of inaction and irresolution. It has no time limitations. Football, on the other hand, has immediate goals, resolution on every single play, and a lot of violence—itself a highlight. It has clearly distinguishable hierarchies: heroes and drones.
    Jerry Mander, U.S. advertising executive, author. Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, ch. 15, Morrow (1978)
