Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, foreign and/or players:

    “Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Lastly, his tomb
    Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
    And none shall speak his name.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “Don’t use that foreign word “ideals.” We have that excellent native word “lies.””
    —Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

    “People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
