Famous quotes containing the words boxing, summer and/or light:
“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
“I know I am but summer to your heart,
And not the full four seasons of the year.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
