Famous quotes containing the word stanley:
“I’ve tried not to exaggerate the glory of athletes. I’d rather, if I could, preserve a sense of proportion, to write about them as excellent ballplayers, first-rate players. But I’m sure I have contributed to false values—as Stanley Woodward said, “Godding up those ballplayers.”
The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
