Famous quotes containing the words boxing, golden, gloves and/or champion:
“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
“All the chosen coin of fancy
flashing out from many a golden phrase;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“I saw her hand, she has a leathern hand,
A freestone-colored hand. I verily did think
That her old gloves were on, but ‘twas her hands.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“What a terrible thing has happened to us all! To you there, to us here, to all everywhere. Peace who was becoming bright-eyed, now sits in the shadow of death; her handsome champion has been killed as he walked by her very side. Her gallant boy is dead. What a cruel, foul, and most unnatural murder! We mourn here with you, poor, sad American people.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
