Famous quotes containing the words big, ten, conference, men and/or basketball:
“The world and life’s too big to pass for a dream,”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“Women, despite the fact that nine out of ten of them go through life with a death-bed air either of snatching-the-last-moment or with martyr-resignation, do not die tomorrow—or the next day. They have to live on to any one of many bitter ends.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
