Famous quotes containing the words life and/or boxing:
“I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.”
—Ellen Sturgis Hooper (1816–1841)
“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
