—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“King Richard. Lions make leopards tame.
Mowbray. Yea, but not change his spots.”

“Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“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)
