Rugby Player Born

Famous quotes containing the words player and/or born:

    “If women were umpiring none of this [rowdyism] would happen. Do you suppose any ball player in the country would step up to a good-looking girl and say to her, “You color- blind, pickle-brained, cross-eyed idiot, if you don’t stop throwing the soup into me I’ll distribute your features all over you countenance!” Of course he wouldn’t.”
    —Amanda Clement (1888–1971)

    “I was born upon thy bank, river,
    My blood flows in thy stream,
    And thou meanderest forever
    At the bottom of my dream.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
