Famous quotes containing the words time, periods and/or represented:

    “I wrote a great deal of verse. In fact, every time I fell in love, which was rather often, I burst into the emotional sort of thing which is perennially salable.”
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    “Compared to football, baseball is almost an Oriental game, minimizing individual stardom, requiring a wide range of aggressive and defensive skills, and filled with long periods of inaction and irresolution. It has no time limitations. Football, on the other hand, has immediate goals, resolution on every single play, and a lot of violence—itself a highlight. It has clearly distinguishable hierarchies: heroes and drones.”
    —Jerry Mander, U.S. advertising executive, author. Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, ch. 15, Morrow (1978)

    “Judge Bedford: I understand you refuse to be represented by counsel.
    Walter: That’s correct, your honor.
    Judge Bedford: Are you suicidal, Mr. Davis, or just plain stupid?”
    —Dale Launer (b. 1953)
