Famous quotes containing the words boxer and/or rebellion:
“Whoever gets up and comes to grips with Love like a boxer is a fool.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“The rebellion is against time pollution, the feeling that the essence of what makes life worth living—the small moments, the special family getaways, the cookies in the oven, the weekend drives, the long dreamlike summers Mso much of this has been taken from us, or we have given it up. For what? Hitachi stereos? Club Med? Company cars? Racquetball? For fifteen-hour days and lousy day care?”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
