Sri Lanka Women's National Basketball Team

Famous quotes containing the words basketball, national, team and/or women:

“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)

“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)

“Once a word is spoken, a team of four horse cannot retake it.”
—Chinese proverb.

“I think it’s a question which particularly arises over women writers: whether it’s better to have a happy life or a good supply of tragic plots.”
—Wendy Cope (b. 1945)
