Football quotations

- Jean-Paul Sartre99◆ The thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.
- Terry Pratchett99◆ Football is the ballet of the masses.
- Dmitri Shostakovich99◆ The Enemy of the best is the good. If you're always settling with what's good, you'll never be the best.
- Jerry Rice99◆ Football combines two of the worst things in American life. It is violence punctuated by committee meetings.
- George F. Will99◆ You got one guy going boom, one guy going whack, and one guy not getting in the endzone.
- John Madden99◆ Football: A sport that bears the same relation to education that bullfighting does to agriculture.
- Elbert Hubbard99◆ Anybody who watches three games of football in a row should be declared brain dead.
- Erma Bombeck99◆ The ball laughs, radiant, in the air. He brings her down, puts her to sleep, showers her with compliments, dances with her, and seeing such things never before seen his admirers pity their unborn grandchildren who will never see them.
- Eduardo Galeano99◆ An atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame - Southern Methodist University game and doesn't care who wins.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower99◆ I didn't answer. We were not buddies. We could not chat about the proximity of our offices, or football, or forgiveness.
- Kimberly Novosel99◆ You get hit the hardest when trying to run or hide from a problem. Like the defense on a football field, putting all focus on evading only one defender is asking to be blindsided.
- Criss Jami99◆ ...So please, be tolerant of those who describe a sporting moment as their best ever. We do not lack imagination, nor have we had sad and barren lives; it is just that real life is paler, duller, and contains less potential for unexpected delirium.
- Nick Hornby99◆ As I get older, the tyranny that football exerts over my life, and therefore over the lives of people around me, is less reasonable and less attractive. Family and friends know, after long years of wearying experience, that the fixture list always has the last word in any arrangement; they understand, or at least accept, that christenings or weddings or any gatherings, which in other families would take unquestioned precedence, can only be plotted after consultation. So football is regarded as a given disability that has to be worked around. If I were wheelchair-bound, nobody close to me would organise anything in a top-floor flat, so why would they plan anything for a winter Saturday afternoon.
- Nick Hornby99◆ I used to believe, although I don't now, that growing and growing up are analogous, that both are inevitable and uncontrollable processes. Now it seems to me that growing up is governed by the will, that one can choose to become an adult, but only at given moments. These moments come along fairly infrequently -during crises in relationships, for example, or when one has been given the chance to start afresh somewhere- and one can ignore them or seize them.
- Nick Hornby99
