Famous quotes containing the words summer, olympic and/or bid:

    “That God has laid His fingers on the sky,
    That from those fingers glittering summer runs
    Upon the dancer by the dreamless wave.
    Why should those lovers that no lovers miss
    Dream, until God burn Nature with a kiss?
    The man has found no comfort in the grave.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.”
    —Joseph Heller (b. 1923)

    “I am not bid for love, they flatter me.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
