Black Players

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or players:

    “... the whole day to live through,
    steadfast, deep, interior.
    After the death,
    after the black of black,
    this lightness
    not to die, not die....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
