Famous quotes containing the words world and/or baseball:
“In the world we live in ... everything militates in favor of things that have not yet happened, of things that will never happen again.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“It is a mass language only in the same sense that its baseball slang is born of baseball players. That is, it is a language which is being molded by writers to do delicate things and yet be within the grasp of superficially educated people. It is not a natural growth, much as its proletarian writers would like to think so. But compared with it at its best, English has reached the Alexandrian stage of formalism and decay.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
