Football Quotes (page 9)

I fell in love with football as I was later to fall in love with women: suddenly, inexplicably, uncritically, giving no thought to the pain or disruption it would bring with it. Nick Hornby
One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organization do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. Aiden Wilson Tozer
Wally Lamb quote: "You orchestrate happiness, Dolores - you work at it. You don't..."
You orchestrate happiness, Dolores - you work at it. You don't catch it as it hurls toward you like a football Wally Lamb
...the modern State's greatest single instrument of oppression, its murderous tax on drink...accounts for nearly all the miseries besetting our once-merry land; football hooliganism, colour prejudice, industrial unrest, cynicism about politicians; the list is endless. Auberon Waugh
I never read the paper myself. Why bother? It's the same old shit day in and day out, dictators beating the ching-chong out of people weaker than they are, men in uniforms beating the ching-chong out of soccer balls or footballs, politicians kissing babies and kissing ass. Stephen King
Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women it is merely a good excuse not to play football. Fran Lebowitz
When my pals in high school were starting to drink, it always looked unappealing to me. I would be at a big party and see one of the popular girls or football players completely wasted and puking and acting a fool, and think to myself, There’s nothing cool about that. I never wanted to be that out of control. Kathy Griffin
The settled happiness and security which we all desire, God withholds from us by the very nature of the world: but joy, pleasure, and merriment, He has scattered broadcast. We are never safe, but we have plenty of fun, and some ecstasy. It is not hard to see why. The security we crave would teach us to rest our hearts in this world and oppose an obstacles to our return to God: a few moments of happy love, a landscape, a symphony, a merry meeting with out friends, a bathe or a football match,... C. S. Lewis
I have always been accused of taking the things I love - football, of course, but also books and records - much too seriously, and I do feel a kind of anger when I hear a bad record, or when someone is lukewarm about a book that means a lot to me. Nick Hornby
I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks or a champion college footballer suddenly confronted by Wall Street and a business suit, his days of glory shrunk to a little gold cup on his mantel with a date engraved on it like the date on a tombstone. Sylvia Plath
Alex Ferguson quote: "I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell."
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell. Alex Ferguson
Gerard Way quote: "Are you on our side...and want to be different, or are you on..."
Are you on our side...and want to be different, or are you on that side and want to throw a football at my head!? Gerard Way
Anthony Burgess quote: "Five days shalt thou labour, as the Bible says. The seventh..."
Five days shalt thou labour, as the Bible says. The seventh day is the Lord thy God's. The sixth day is for football Anthony Burgess
So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult. George Orwell
Why you fool, it's the educated reader who CAN be gulled. All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies,... C. S. Lewis
