Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    The American Dream, the idea of the happy ending, is an avoidance of responsibility and commitment.
    Jill Robinson (b. 1936)

    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)
