Famous quotes containing the words vine, street and/or players:

The house and the trees,
The barns brown gable, the vine by the door,
Nothing changed but the hives of bees.”

—Thylias Moss, African American poet. As quoted in the Wall Street Journal (May 12, 1994)
“People stress the violence. Thats the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it theres a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. Theres a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, theres a satisfaction to the game that cant be duplicated. Theres a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
