Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together. Suddenly three trophies are down to one.
Dennis Bergkamp

Rita got the best of us. We took quite a beating. It's going to take a while to come back from this.

Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.
Phillips Brooks

Shame is a fitter and generally a more effectual punishment for a child than beating.
Samuel Richardson

So instead of beating myself up for being fat, I think it's a miracle that I laugh every day and walk through my life with pride, because our culture is unrelenting when it comes to large people.
Camryn Manheim

Guy Forget

They don't give you gold medals for beating somebody. They give you gold medals for beating everybody.
Michael Johnson

To me this movie is about what is valuable. To one person it might be a stone; to someone else, a story in a magazine; to another, it is a child.

Edward Zwick

Puff Daddy
