More quotes by Hal Porter
I cannot consider fighting in competitive Manly Fun any more than I can consider pitting my running, swimming or climbing body against other bodies. Nothing, then, or now, arouses me or will ever arouse me from a perfect disinterest in ball games.
Hal Porter
How ruthless and vile and hard and right the young are.
Hal Porter
