U.S. Professional Match Play Championship

Famous quotes containing the words professional, match and/or play:

“... all professional ideologies are high-minded. Hunters, for instance, would not dream of calling themselves the butchers of the woods.”

“The phonographs of hades in the brain

A burnt match skating in a urinal—”

“A bestial and violent man will go so far as to kill because he is under the influence of drink, exasperated, or driven by rage and alcohol. He is paltry. He does not know the pleasure of killing, the charity of bestowing death like a caress, of linking it with the play of the noble wild beasts: every cat, every tiger, embraces its prey and licks it even while it destroys it.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
