Famous quotes containing the words world and/or sports:

    “Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play,
    Belinda smiled, and all the world was gay.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “...I didn’t come to this with any particular cachet. I was just a person who grew up in the United States. And when I looked around at the people who were sportscasters, I thought they were just people who grew up in the United States, too. So I thought, Why can’t a woman do it? I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.”
    —Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 85 (June 17, 1991)
