Famous quotes containing the words sporting and/or life:

    “I once heard of a murderer who propped his two victims up against a chess board in sporting attitudes and was able to get as far as Seattle before his crime was discovered.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “When it’s over I don’t want to wonder
    if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
    I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
    or full of argument.
    I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”
    —Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
