Famous quotes containing the word sport:

    “Rabelais, for instance, is intolerable; one chapter is better than a volume,—it may be sport to him, but it is death to us. A mere humorist, indeed, is a most unhappy man; and his readers are most unhappy also.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Drag racing is a sport of egos, and it’s all male egos.”
    —Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney (b. 1940)

    “Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
    ”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)
