Black Players

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or players:

“Don’t look now, God, we’re all right.
All the suicides are eating Black Bean Soup;
the Dalmatians, our turnip, our spotted parasite
snoozles in her chair.”
—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)
