Del Rio Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words rio and/or defeated:

    Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.
    Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    The poet is he who fights on the passionate
    Side and whoever loses he wins; when he
    Is defeated it is hard to say who wins....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
