Meter Class Winner

Famous quotes containing the words meter, class and/or winner:

“Much poetry seems to be aware of its situation in time and of its relation to the metronome, the clock, and the calendar. ... The season or month is there to be felt; the day is there to be seized.

—William Harmon (b. 1938)

“People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.”
—Ralph Lauren (b. 1939)

“The winner gives up his chance to be a good sport.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
