“Sport strips away personality, letting the white bone of character shine through. Sport gives players an opportunity to know and test themselves. The great difference between sport and art is that sport, like a sonnet, forces beauty within its own system. Art, on the other hand, cyclically destroys boundaries and breaks free.” KnowsGivingArtCharacterHandsOpportunityForceSportsDifferencesWhiteBreakPlayerPersonalityArt IsTestsShiningBonesBoundariesSonnetBeauty Within Author:Rita Mae Brown

“When I was a kid, I did martial arts because boxing wasn't really available on Long Island. I think now kids are able to begin boxing earlier. So it's great and whatever can promote the sport on a whole is a good thing. And if we can do it on Long Island, where I am from, it's a beautiful thing.” IfsThinkingLongArtWholeKidsAbleBeautifulSportsCan DoArt IsGood ThingsAvailableIslandsBoxingMartial ArtsBeautiful ThingsLong Island Author:Chris Algieri
“Being critical of art is a way of showing art respect. No sports writer would say, "Well the Yankees had a great season this year." No food critic would get a bad meal and say, "Oh, it was so lovely." It always strikes me as odd when people say, "Why do you write negatively about any art?" I think that everybody has mixed feelings about everything - even Goya. I mean, I look at Rembrandt sometimes and I hear a voice in my head go, "It's pretty brown."” PeopleThinkingWritingMeanArtSometimesFeelingsSportsArt IsCriticsLovelyOddMixed Feelings Author:Jerry Saltz
