Famous quotes containing the words state, men and/or basketball:
“Me, rule? Me, place the State under my law, when my feeble reason no longer rules even myself!”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
“Do not conceale no beauty grace,
That’s either in thy minde or face,
Least vertue overcome by vice,
Make men beleeve no Paradice.”
—Sir Francis Kynaston (1587–1642)
“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)
