2007-08 Skeleton World Cup

Famous quotes containing the words skeleton, world and/or cup:

    The bone-frame was made for
    no such shock knit within terror,
    yet the skeleton stood up to it:
    the flesh? it was melted away,
    the heart burnt out, dead ember,
    tendons, muscles shattered, outer husk dismembered....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children’s homes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby “it.”
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
