Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    “It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
    —Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
