Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or record:

    “Wearing overalls on weekdays, painting somebody else’s house to earn money? You’re working class. Wearing overalls at weekends, painting your own house to save money? You’re middle class.”
    —Lawrence Sutton, British prizewinner in competition in Sunday Correspondent (London)

    “Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
