Famous quotes containing the words champions and/or prior:
“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“Euphelia serves to grace my measure,
But Chloe is my real flame.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
