Quiet

Famous quotes containing the word quiet:

“Beholding the bright countenance of truth in the quiet and still air of delightful studies.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“You’ll never have a quiet world til you knock the patriotism out of the human race.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“I don’t like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game, but it isn’t exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.”
—Bowie Kuhn (b. 1926)
