Famous quotes containing the words stanley and/or cup:

    “I’ve tried not to exaggerate the glory of athletes. I’d rather, if I could, preserve a sense of proportion, to write about them as excellent ballplayers, first-rate players. But I’m sure I have contributed to false values—as Stanley Woodward said, “Godding up those ballplayers.”
    The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    “It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
