“Our masks, always in peril of smearing or cracking, in need of continuous check in the mirror or silverware, keep us in thrall to ourselves, concerned with our surfaces.”
Carolyn Kizer
“Hull is one of the biggest clubs in rugby league, but this was their first silverware in 20 years. We felt it was important to reflect not just the triumph, but how it was achieved and what it meant for the club's fans and the city of Hull.”
John Meehan
“We had to carry the silverware on and off the plane.”
Eleanor Vosberg
“It was good to win some silverware and give game time to some of the players who are likely to be on the bench at Twickenham. We possibly had one eye on the Daily Mail final, but it was good to have the match before going to Twickenham.”
Dave Heybrock
“Barry's wife, Linda, had the table set with china, crystal and elegant silverware, but I saw it and told her that just wouldn't work. So I asked if they had any newspaper, and she just poured the crawfish all over that elegant table.”
Harold Cowart
“The hand is not so well adorned by ornaments as by charitable offerings; one does not become clean by smearing sandalwood paste upon the body as by taking a bath; one does not become so much satisfied by dinner as by having respect shown to him; and salvation is not attained by self-adornment as by cultivation of spiritual knowledge.”
Chanakya
“It's a pretty significant day for us. It is a day of abstinence when we fast, pray and smear ourselves with burnt ash to remind us of our sinfulness, forgiveness and mortality. It sets the tone for the penitential season leading up to Easter.”
