Sportive Quotes

• Pero yo, que no estoy formado para trucos deportivos, Ni hecho para cortejar a un amoroso espejo; Yo, que estoy rudamente estampado, y quiero la majestad del amor Para pavonearme ante una desenfadada ninfa; Yo, que he sido recortado de esta justa proporción, engañado de rasgos por una naturaleza disimulada, deformado, inacabado, enviado antes de tiempo a este mundo que respira, apenas a medio hacer, y tan cojo y pasado de moda que los perros me ladran cuando me detengo junto a ellos, yo, en este débil tiempo de paz, no tengo placer en pasar el tiempo, a menos que espíe mi sombra en el sol.

  William Shakespeare

• I've never heard anything Wynton [Marsalis] played sound like it meant anything at all. Wynton has no voice and no presence. His music sounds like a talented high-school trumpet player to me... he's jazzy the same way someone who drives a BMW is sporty.

• Confined to common life thy numbers flow,
  And neither soar too high nor sink too low;
  There strength and ease in graceful union meet,
  Though polished, subtle, and though poignant, sweet;
  Yet powerful to abash the from of crime
  And crimson error's cheek with sportive rhyme.
  [Lat., Verba togae sequeris, junctura callidus acri,
  Ore teres modico, pallentes radere mores
  Doctus, et ingenuo culpam defigere ludo.]

  Aulo Persio Flaco

• Though essaying but a sportive sail, I was driven from my course by a blast re sistless; and ill-provided, young, and bowed by the brunt of things before my prime, still fly before the gale. ... If after all these fearful fainting trances, the verdict be, the golden haven was not gained; yet in bold quest thereof, better to sink in boundless deeps than float on vulgar shoals; and give me, ye gods, an utter wreck, if wreck I do.
