Quote by George Will (b. 1941) , George Will - Newsweek

• Football combines two of the worst things in American life. It is violence punctuated by committee meetings.

• The Berlin Wall is the defining achievement of socialism.

• Football is a mistake. It combines the two worst elements of American life. Violence and committee meetings.

• If you want to understand your government, don't begin by reading the Constitution. It conveys precious little of the flavor of today's statecraft. Instead, read selected portions of the Washington telephone directory containing listings for all the organizations with titles beginning with the word `National'.

• The phrase "domestic cat" is an oxymoron.
