Famous quotes containing the words vanderbilt and/or football:
“When I want to buy up any politician I always find the anti-monopolists the most purchasable—they don’t come so high.”
—William Vanderbilt (1821–1885)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
