Famous quotes containing the words world, cup and/or squad:

    “It was a gift that he possessed alone:
    To look the world directly in the face;
    The face he did not see to be his own.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Americans think of themselves collectively as a huge rescue squad on twenty-four-hour call to any spot on the globe where dispute and conflict may erupt.”
    —Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
