Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or athletes:
“Marrying any man is risky. Marrying a famous man is kissing catastrophe.”
—John Colton (1886–1946)
“The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth ... the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us, and perverse spiritual athletes and strident self-transcenders of the best of us.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
