Famous quotes containing the words times, world and/or champions:
“I’m so tired, believe me, of strangling people 300 times in a row.”
—Arnold Phillips, Max Nosseck (1902–1972)
“I started off rapping for people just like myself, people who were in awe of wealth and flash. It was a conversation between me and them. But now most of those who buy my records are listening in on others’ conversation. They are the aural equivalent of voyeurs, thrilled at this crazy world that has nothing to do with their experience.”
—Ice-T [Tracy Marrow], U.S. rap musician. Observer (London, Oct. 27, 1991)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?
Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
