Famous quotes containing the word satisfaction:
“Mannerism always wants to be finished and doesn’t enjoy the process. Genuine, truly great talent, however, finds its greatest satisfaction in the production.”

“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.

—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
