Lost Yards

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or yards:

    If it were lost in Übermenschlichkeit,
    Perhaps our wretched state would soon come right.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    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)
