Players Left

Famous quotes containing the words players and/or left:

“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)

“The only freedom supposed to be left to the masses is that of grazing on the ration of simulacra the system distributes to each individual.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
