Famous quotes containing the words cue and/or sports:

    Were it my cue to fight, I should have known it
    Without a prompter.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I looked so much like a guy you couldn’t tell if I was a boy or a girl. I had no hair, I wore guys’ clothes, I walked like a guy ... [ellipsis in source] I didn’t do anything right except sports. I was a social dropout, but sports was a way I could be acceptable to other kids and to my family.
    Karen Logan (b. 1949)
