Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or sports:
“The blood blooms clean
In you, ruby.
The pain
You wake to is not yours.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“...I didn’t come to this with any particular cachet. I was just a person who grew up in the United States. And when I looked around at the people who were sportscasters, I thought they were just people who grew up in the United States, too. So I thought, Why can’t a woman do it? I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 85 (June 17, 1991)
