Famous quotes containing the words national and/or stadium:

    “In our brief national history we have shot four of our presidents, worried five of them to death, impeached one and hounded another out of office. And when all else fails, we hold an election and assassinate their character.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
