Game Quotes
-
There can be raw pain and bleeding where so many thousands see the inevitable ups and downs of only a game.
C. L. R. James
-
How I hate the Beautiful Game! I hate its cry-baby players and its gruff, joyless managers, its blokish supporters and its sinister owners, its whistle-peeping referees and its chippy little linesmen, its excitable commentators and - perhaps most of all - its unpluggable 'analysts.'
Craig Brown
-
I was not grown up in the U.S., nor in Japan. In order to create a video game that people around the globe can enjoy and relate to, I can't draw things deeply rooted in the local culture that I'm not familiar with. That's why we are not doing games about football or samurai.
Jenova Chen
-
Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.
Bill Shankly
-
If I go on to the pitch, do things well and the fans love me and my team-mates, too, we take on that energy which can change a game.
Diego Costa

That's pretty much a tired topic. At this point, it's either you're riding with me, or you're not. I feel like this is the prime of my life and the prime of my career, and there's a lot bigger things in store for me. So when I hear that stuff, I just remember that at some point in time, every athlete who plays this game is going to hear something like that. I just take it with a grain of salt.
Eddie George
-
How you play the game is for college ball. When you're playing for money, winning is the only thing that matters.
Leo Durocher
-
The key for us is to not back down. We have to realize that until the game is over we have a chance to win. Early in the season last year, we would get down by three or four goals and we would let it get to five or six. But at the end of the year we had two one-goal overtime games. It just takes an atmosphere of competing and knowing that you always have a chance.
Adam Pascal

My dad introduced me to baseball. Then one of my friends asked if I could play on a team; my dad said I could, and I just fell in love with the game.
Bert Blyleven

My breadth of football experience, my injury history, and my all-or-nothing goal to become one of the best linebackers in the NFL, combined with all I'd been learning about the game's neurological effects on the brain, convinced me I'd be wise in choosing another career.
Chris Borland
-
I can do one 'Breaking Bad' in a night, or one 'Game of Thrones.' But 'House of Cards,' I can really do three in a night. I get sucked in.
Alysia Reiner
-
I'm just trying to go out there and play the game the right way and lead by example.
Billy Butler

Whoever sees no other aim in the game than that of giving checkmate to one's opponent will never become a good Chess player.
Max Euwe

Pass protection didn't look good, and we looked sluggish. Anytime you don't do well it's a concern, but it is the first time out and we had a lot of people in there.
Joe Gibbs
-

I've played the game for a long time.
Jason Kidd

If you saw me as a footballer, when I played, I always showed a great passion. You saw Antonio Conte during the game showing passion.
Antonio Conte

I am the entertainer and I know just where I stand Another serenader and another long haired band Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts, But I know the game, you'll forget my name, And I won't be here in another year If I don't stay on the charts.
Billy Joel
-

Mark Mobius
-
You go through slumps in this game, and you just have to work through them. You're going to miss putts out on an LPGA tour and have bad rounds. You just have to think to yourself that you always have tomorrow, and you're lucky enough to be out here just playing golf for a living.
Lexi Thompson
-
Perhaps violence, like pornography, is some kind of an evolutionary standby system, a last-resort device for throwing a wild joker into the game?
J. G. Ballard
-
When you're a kid, what fun the game is! You grab a bat and glove and ball, that's it. I know what Ted Williams and Stan Musial meant when they said it got tougher to get in shape every year.
Eddie Mathews
-
The World Cup experience is more than just the game of soccer. It's an event. And it will fly by faster than you think. It will end and you'll be saying, 'Wow, it's over already?' You have to remember to take it all in and enjoy it.
