Quote by Darrell Royal

Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.

Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.

Summary

This quote suggests that participating in football does not necessarily develop an individual's character, but rather filters out those who are deemed weak in terms of their physical abilities, mental strength, or overall competitive nature. It implies that the sport of football can be ruthless and unforgiving, as it tests an individual's resilience, determination, and ability to withstand challenges. The focus is on the idea that football separates those who possess the necessary qualities to succeed from those who do not, rather than fostering character development in all participants.

I know that pain is the most important thing in the universe

I know that pain is the most important thing in the universes. Greater than survival, greater than love, greater even than the beauty it brings about. For without pain, there can be no pleasure. Without sadness, there can be no happiness. Without misery there can be no beauty. And without these, life is endless, hopeless, doomed and damned. Adult. You have become adult.
