I went out to the Derby on Wednesday and think it is the most interesting thing I ever saw over here. ~ Richard H. Davis
Derby quotes by Richard H. Davis
I lost count of the number of referees who came to me both at Derby and Forest and said, 'I'd just like to express my thanks. I love matches involving your team. We never have any trouble with them. ~ Brian Howard Clough
Derby quotes by Brian Howard Clough
Among the defects of the bill [Lord Derby's] which are numerous, one provision is conspicuous by its presence and another by its absence. ~ John Russell, 1st Earl Russell
Derby quotes by John Russell, 1st Earl Russell
As a young boy I won a few dollars in 1972 when Riva Ridge won the Kentucky Derby. I had overheard someone say he was going to win, and I guess that made an impression on me. ~ Matt Gonzalez
Derby quotes by Matt Gonzalez
Storing your car in New York is safer than entering it in a demolition derby. But not much. ~ Daniel S. Greenberg
Derby quotes by Daniel S. Greenberg
Dana followed a specific structure: Set the stage. Gather data. Generate insights. Decide what to do. Close the retrospective. ~ Esther Derby
Derby quotes by Esther Derby
Remember the people in the back streets of Derby. ~ Arthur Christiansen
Derby quotes by Arthur Christiansen
That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head. ~ Charlie Chaplin
Derby quotes by Charlie Chaplin
I don't remember half of the new bands, though - and I think that's kind of where we're going. It's turning into just a big derby of songs. May the best song win. ~ Beck
Derby quotes by Beck
Her parents, Austin Taylor and Kathleen Taylor, were big deals in Vancouver - they were civic leaders, and he raced horses in the Kentucky Derby - and my mother grew up a debutante. And when she and my dad were married, there were about a thousand guests at that reception. ~ Christopher Buckley
Derby quotes by Christopher Buckley
You have to love animals for what they are or leave them alone. The best thing you can do if you love them is leave them alone and see that other people do too. ~ Pat Derby
Derby quotes by Pat Derby
The Merseyside derby games are unique in the city. ~ Brendan Rodgers
Derby quotes by Brendan Rodgers
When I was in high school, my uncle, who went to the races quite a bit, got me interested. Then when I went to college at Southern Illinois University, just a few hours from Louisville, we used to go to the Kentucky Derby, and I got to see Secretariat and Riva Ridge win. ~ Kenny Troutt
Derby quotes by Kenny Troutt
When harvests are exuberant, joy and health follow in their train; but let delusive prosperity draw industry from agriculture; let an insiduous disease attack one of its important products; let an insect, or a parasite, fasten on a single esculent, and mark the effect upon commerce and human life. Upon such an event all business is deranged. ~ Elias Hasket Derby
Derby quotes by Elias Hasket Derby
Merseyside derbies usually last 90 minutes and I'm sure today's won't be any different. ~ Trevor Brooking
Derby quotes by Trevor Brooking
Chesterfield 1, Chester 1. Another score draw in the local derby ~ Des Lynam
Derby quotes by Des Lynam
The Thoroughbred exists because its selection has depended, not on experts, technicians, or zoologists, but on a piece of wood: the winning post of the Epsom Derby. If you base your criteria on anything else, you will get something else, not the Thoroughbred. ~ Federico Tesio
Derby quotes by Federico Tesio
So down thy hill, romantic Ashbourn, glides The Derby dilly, carrying three INSIDES. ~ George Canning
Derby quotes by George Canning
How nice
to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Derby quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
I sneak a look over and consider a blow job, but even I know giving head in the middle of a demolition derby is risky, ~ John Waters
Derby quotes by John Waters
I was never one of those student who thought it was great to see their teaches outside of school, in their normal clothes, living their normal life like a normal person. I actually preferred to keep them as they were: smartly dressed and in charge, maybe even as role models. What I definitely did not want to do was see them getting smashed in Derby town center, smiling at women, and then getting pissy when the women didn't smile back, reminding me that none of the adults in my life really know what they're doing and that I too will never really figure anything out. ~ James Acaster
Derby quotes by James Acaster
A village in a country which is taking pains to become altogether standardized and pure, which aspires to succeed Victorian England as the chief mediocrity of the world, is no longer merely provincial, no longer downy and restful in its leaf-shadowed ignorance. It is a force seeking to conquer the earth ... Sure of itself, it bullies other civilizations, as a traveling salesman in a brown derby conquers the wisdom of China and tacks advertisements of cigarettes over arches for centuries dedicated to the sayings of Confucius. ~ Sinclair Lewis
Derby quotes by Sinclair Lewis
I was born in love with all elephants. Not for a reason that I know. Not because of any of their individual qualities - wisdom, kindness, power, grace, patience, loyalty - but for what they are altogether. For their entire elephantness. ~ Pat Derby
Derby quotes by Pat Derby
I'll tell you an incident that happened right at the Brown Derby [restaurant] since I've been here in Honolulu," Armstrong tells a friend on one of the recordings. "You remember that white boy, he's a sailor or something, on one of these battleships, on Pearl Harbor, and he caught my show, and I come to find out he has damn near every record I made from childbirth. "He come up and shook my hand after the whole show was over . . . and he said, 'You know, I don't like Negroes.' "Right to my [expletive] face, that [expletive] told me. And so I said, 'Well, I admire your [expletive] sincerity.' "And he said, 'I don't like Negroes, but you're one [expletive] I'm crazy about. I've got every [expletive] record.' "I've said it for years. You take the majority of white people," continued Armstrong, "they always got one [expletive] at least that they're just crazy about, [expletive]. Every white man in the world got one [expletive] at least that they just love his dirty drawers. ~ Howard Reich
Derby quotes by Howard Reich
Derby born and bred, mate. ~ Lauren Socha
Derby quotes by Lauren Socha
The people, they need someone to live through. Trust me, I used to be in roller derby back in the day. People need a hero. ~ Mat Johnson
Derby quotes by Mat Johnson
The Boss will release the four horsemen." I swallowed hard. "I guess you're not talking about the Kentucky Derby kind of horsemen? ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Derby quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I can't tell the difference between the best and the worst 'cause I realize not everybody wants to have sex in the middle of a demolition derby race in the car. ~ John Waters
Derby quotes by John Waters
I was a 'Laurel and Hardy' nut. I got to know Laurel at the end of his life, and it was a great thrill for me. He left me his bow tie and derby and told me that if they ever made a movie about him, he'd want me to play him. ~ Dick Van Dyke
Derby quotes by Dick Van Dyke
See that little stream - we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it - a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs. No Europeans will ever do that again in this generation."

"Why, they've only just quit over in Turkey," said Abe. "And in Morocco - "

"That's different. This western-front business couldn't be done again, not for a long time. The young men think they could do it but they couldn't. They could fight the first Marne again but not this. This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. The Russians and Italians weren't any good on this front. You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment going back further than you could remember. You had to remember Christmas, and postcards of the Crown Prince and his fiancée, and little cafés in Valence and beer gardens in Unter den Linden and weddings at the mairie, and going to the Derby, and your grandfather's whiskers."

"General Grant invented this kind of battle at Petersburg in sixty- five."

"No, he didn't - he just invented mass butchery. This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
Derby quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Manchester Derby is bigger and more important than El Classico. ~ Diego Maradona
Derby quotes by Diego Maradona
And I know I'm sarcastic and defensive and I make a joke out of everything and am highly resistant to anything that reeks of sentimental corniness, but I'm giving you my heart anyway because being with you feels like home, and I know you won't break it. ~ Shauna Cross
Derby quotes by Shauna Cross
I'm hyper-aware of my last name and it's lack of Derby or Horowtiz-esque sonorousness. Moffett sounds like a type of couch cushion. I guess I'm hoping to start a wave of first-name usage. ~ Kevin Moffett
Derby quotes by Kevin Moffett
Of course I danced a lot when I was making 'Swingers.' The swing music scene was big in Hollywood, and I went to places like The Derby. And, after I wrote it and was trying to get it made, I would go every week so I'd be good at dancing. ~ Jon Favreau
Derby quotes by Jon Favreau
If sharks could smile, they'd smile like he was now. ~ Kathleen Peacock
Derby quotes by Kathleen Peacock
The rules of the track work well for life. Roller derby is life in a tiny circle. You can only go forward, even if you find yourself turned around, facing the wrong way. There's speed, unpredictability, and danger. You can't be sure what's going to happen, you don't always know when you'll stop, and it appears most people are out to get you. You will fall. You will get hurt. But you will get up again. ~ Pamela Ribon
Derby quotes by Pamela Ribon
A Home Run Derby is fun. It's just like taking batting practice, and you just want to go deep. Guys do it every day. Yes, there's a little more pressure when they pull that cage back, but if you practice properly, it shouldn't affect the second half of your season at all. ~ Frank Thomas
Derby quotes by Frank Thomas
Social media is the ultimate soapbox derby... ~ Nanette L. Avery
Derby quotes by Nanette L. Avery
Demolition derby
Duck tape works wonders ~ Richard L. Ratliff
Derby quotes by Richard L. Ratliff
A fertile soil alone does not carry agriculture to perfection. ~ Elias Hasket Derby
Derby quotes by Elias Hasket Derby
Claire's lips twisted as she remembered the match against Arsenal last season. It had been a very important London derby and Gabriel's team had lost thanks to the referee's questionable decision to disallow Gabriel's goal. To say Gabriel was angry and upset would be to say nothing. Claire tried to comfort him, but Gabriel yelled at her to leave him alone and that he didn't want company, so Claire decided to take a walk and give him a few minutes to calm down. When she returned ten minutes later, she found Gabriel huddled into Jared's side, his expression calm and relaxed as Jared stroked his back and whispered something into his ear. Claire stood still, feeling like an outsider watching something she could never be part of.
That was why she'd been pleased about Jared quitting his job and returning to the States. She had thought she would finally have her boyfriend all to herself.
Claire chuckled. How naive she had been. ~ Alessandra Hazard
Derby quotes by Alessandra Hazard
To win the Kentucky Derby is the goal of every trainer, every hot-walker, every backside person. They may be just rubbing on a horse, or hot-walking a horse, but they wonder if they could win the Kentucky Derby. ~ Bob Lewis
Derby quotes by Bob Lewis
I will show you how to apply that concept to your life as a rock star, secret agent, UN sniper, or Roller Derby MVP. I am qualified to do this because I'm a mechanical engineer. That's what we do. We take scientific concepts and make them useful. ~ Christine McKinley
Derby quotes by Christine McKinley
But before Derby go, would they mind telling the rest of the Premier League - the league which it has debased with its pathetically-inadequate presence for the past 12 months - where the money has gone? You know, the £30m or so in prize money that every team, even the one at the bottom of the table from August to May, automatically receives by being in the Premier League ... So what happened to that money? Or put another way, why was such a meaningless fraction of it spent on recruiting new players? It's one thing not to compete; it's quite another not to even attempt to do so. ~ Pete Gill
Derby quotes by Pete Gill
Basketball would have been the natural sport to play, but it's a little too aggressive for me, so instead I dabbled in volleyball and some good old-fashioned Roller Derby. ~ Jessica Williams
Derby quotes by Jessica Williams
Pride of place in my wardrobe is an Edwardian-style Norfolk Jacket in Derby Tweed. It is silk-lined with leather-clad buttons and has a smell that reminds me of wet moss and fallen leaves. ~ Fennel Hudson
Derby quotes by Fennel Hudson
After winning the Derby aged just 18-Why all the fuss? After all, the Derby is just another race. ~ Lester Piggott
Derby quotes by Lester Piggott
Victorian racehorse owners frequently named their horses after murderers. That was so astonishing. Can you imagine the equivalent today, with a horse named, say, Boston Strangler, running in the Kentucky Derby? This was a new discovery. The Victorians didn't think it was odd, so no one ever mentioned it particularly. ~ Judith Flanders
Derby quotes by Judith Flanders
Derby described the incredible artificial weather that Earthlings sometimes create for other Earthlings when they don't want those other Earthlings to inhabit Earth any more. Shells were bursting in the treetops with terrific bangs, he said, showering down knives and needles and razorblades. Little lumps of lead in copper jackets were crisscrossing the woods under the shellbursts, zipping along much faster than sound.
A lot of people were being wounded or killed. So it goes. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Derby quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
How many times do I gotta flush before you go away, Derby? ~ Amy Cook
Derby quotes by Amy Cook
I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large. ~ Charlie Chaplin
Derby quotes by Charlie Chaplin
Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby. ~ Paul Ince
Derby quotes by Paul Ince
Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated. Unless tracks cut back to three days a week of full fields, a lot of people will really hurt down the road. Horse racing, to survive, has to go to that. Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week. ~ Rick Pitino
Derby quotes by Rick Pitino
I mean ... it's no big deal. You'd have done exactly the same if it had been Ed working undercover with you, right?" Trent's smile had little sign of real happiness in it.
"Like hell I would!" Kieran told him. Trent met his eyes. "Have you met his boyfriend? Derby's bloody well psychotic. I can just imagine trying to
explain to him that I wasn't screwing his sub - I was just screwing the guy his sub was pretending to be." Kieran had heard Derby's views on the matter several times over the past few months. That wasn't a conversation that would ever go well for him or Ed.
"You'd tell Derby?" Trent asked.
Kieran made a disbelieving sound in the back of his throat. "I wouldn't get the chance. Ed would blurt it out five seconds after he set eyes on him. Derby's the only guy he can't lie to. ~ Kim Dare
Derby quotes by Kim Dare
English civilization rests largely upon tea and cricket, with mighty spurts of enjoyment on Derby Day, and at Newmarket. ~ Agnes Repplier
Derby quotes by Agnes Repplier
I'm really sorry." "There's no sorry in roller derby. Now shut up and keep being my hero. ~ Pamela Ribon
Derby quotes by Pamela Ribon
That's not to say that all software project management books are crap. Just most of them. One of the few that I've found compelling enough to finish is Johanna Rothman's "Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management." She co-wrote it with Esther Derby. ~ Jeff Atwood
Derby quotes by Jeff Atwood
I loved the world of roller derby because I thought it was such an empowering metaphor, that you get out there and do it. It's such a rocker, athletic, capable, cool exhibitionist sport; it's about this great sort of camaraderie. ~ Drew Barrymore
Derby quotes by Drew Barrymore
He is as much a part of the Derby tradition as the Twin Spires themselves ~ John Mallory Asher
Derby quotes by John Mallory Asher
When I won the Derby on Never Say Die I went home and cut the lawn. I haven't cut the lawn since. ~ Lester Piggott
Derby quotes by Lester Piggott
(My youngest sister, Antimony, is still trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. For the moment, it mostly seems to be roller derby, the occasional monster hunting job, and getting pissed at our parents.) ~ Seanan McGuire
Derby quotes by Seanan McGuire
We are creating a political demolition derby, not a presidential debate. Those strange impulses in the American soul that have produced mud wrestling and The Gong Show seem to have claimed the national campaign. ~ Hugh Sidey
Derby quotes by Hugh Sidey
Imagine a pantomime directed by Quentin Tarantino, where villains are booed, heroes are blood-stained, the body-count is high, the entertainment pulsating, the language filthy and the audience screamed behind you' as tackles hurtled in like boulders crashing down a mountain-side. Such was the epic drama that gripped the Emirates yesterday. A derby crammed with sound, fury and significance ended with everyone grasping for breath, with Arsenal regaining the high ground of the Premier League ... This was the Premier League at its raw, mistake-filled, mesmerising best. Utterly compelling. ~ Henry Winter
Derby quotes by Henry Winter

Scott Fitzgerald
Derby quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
And then it developed that Campbell was not going to go unanswered after all. Poor old Derby, the doomed high school teacher, lumbered to his feet for what was probably the finest moment in his life. There are almost no characters in this story, and almost no dramatic confrontations, because most of the people in it are so sick and so much the listless playthings of enormous forces. One of the main effects of war, after all, is that people are discouraged from being characters. But old Derby was a character now. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
