Famous quotes containing the words football and/or classic:
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“A classic is a book that doesn’t have to be written again.”
—Carl Van Doren (1885–1950)
