Champions Born

Famous quotes containing the words champions and/or born:

    Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.
    Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    the gentleness of wine in his fingertips,
    where do these hands come from?
    I was born a glass baby and nobody picked me up
    except to wash the dust off me.
    He has picked me up and licked me alive.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
