Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    If the American people don’t love me, their descendants will.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    In this dream that dogs me I am part
    Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
    Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
    All moving the same way.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
