Famous quotes containing the words grand, slam, women, doubles and/or winner:

“What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.”

“Loach: What happened to your nose, Gittes? Somebody slam a bedroom window on it?
J.J. Gittes: Nope, your wife got excited. She crossed her legs a little too quick.”

“Men subsequently put whatever is newly learned or experienced to use as a plowshare, perhaps even as a weapon: but women immediately include it among their ornaments.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

“The winner gives up his chance to be a good sport.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
