Quote by Thomas Hardy

I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on.

I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on.

Summary

This quote suggests that while physical bodies may fade with time, the essence of oneself, the "family face," remains eternally alive. It implies that our true existence extends beyond the limitations of the physical realm, implying the continuation of consciousness or spirit even after bodies decay. By emphasizing the persistence of one's identity, it suggests that there is an enduring aspect of ourselves that transcends mortality and connects us to our familial lineage.

Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence. The mounting of this illusion defines the purpose and accounts for the immense wealth of American sports. It is the ceremony of innocence that the fans pay to see -- not the game or the match or the bout, but the ritual portrayal of a world in which time stops and all hope remains plausible, in which everybody present can recover the blameless expectations of a child, where the forces of light always triumph over the powers of darkness.
