Port Adelaide Won

Famous quotes containing the words port and/or won:

    When we think back to our forefathers, with their sedentary lives of forest-chopping, railroad-building, fortune-founding, their fox-hunting and Indian taming, their prancing about in the mazurka and the polka, with their coattails flying and their bustles bouncing, to say nothing of their all-day sessions with the port and straight bourbon,... we must realize that we are a nation, not of neurasthenics, but of sissies and slow-motion sports.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
