George Plimpton Quotes
«The smaller the ball used in the sport, the better the book.»
Author: George Plimpton

He looked over his shoulder and there I was, fresh as a daisy. This poor man put on a desperate sprint, which is quite a feat if you've run 26 miles, and he managed to cross the finish line before I did, which gives you some sense of my speed.»
Author: George Plimpton
