Famous quotes containing the words big, sky, conference, men and/or basketball:
“And everybody to the saddest
Laughed the loud laugh the big laugh at the little.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Out in the sky the great dark clouds are massing;
I look far out into the pregnant night,”
—Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“There is more felicity on the far side of baldness than young men can possibly imagine.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
