Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or marathon:
“Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville—Mighty Casey has struck
out.”
—Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)
“In their eyes I have seen
the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
