Famous Quotes & Sayings

Don Buford

As a team, we had a real good spring.

As an individual, my goal is, of course, to have more (tackles) than I had last year. I still need to get an interception -- that's one of my goals, too ... and a touchdown, too. Honestly, as a defense, you're going to see us running to the ball more, everyone just swarming the ball.

Movies are images and moving pictures. Novels are words.

There is a kind of expressed love which is easy to subvert. When a figure is loved for their deeds, their conquests, their heroism, their goodness, their love of the people, these are easy enough to destroy... But there is a kind of love which is felt for apparently no reason... A love, inspired, it seems, by the gods, which it is impossible to fight, distort, destroy, or weaken. In fact, the attempts to destroy such loves only strengthen them. And to do nothing allows them to continue to grow at their natural pace, inexoribly, till this love becomes a wide and silent adoration.

More truly characteristic of dissent is a dignity, an elevation, of mood and thought and phrase. Deep conviction and warm feeling are saying their last say with knowledge that the cause is lost.
