Famous quotes containing the words major and/or sport:

    “I have not had major experience of talking with people once pronounced brain-dead, but I think we could be safe in saying he did not have great zip.”
    —Sir Howard Smith (b. 1919)

    “Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
    ”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)
