Of a very religious linebacker: He knocks the hell out of people, but in a Christian way. Sammy Baugh
The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat. Joe DiMaggio
You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to 'Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,' then your body says, 'Who me?' Joe DiMaggio
I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates. Joe DiMaggio
I only eat fish - no chicken, no turkey, just fish. I get all my protein from fish and egg whites. Jack Lalanne
You can't get rid of it with exercise alone. You can do the most vigorous exercise and only burn up 300 calories in an hour. If you've got fat on your body, the exercise firms and tones the muscles. But when you use that tape measure, what makes it bigger? It's the fat! Jack Lalanne
What you need to do is get that tape measure out, and start measuring that gut. Then you start working out and you start eating properly till that gut gets down close to it was when you were in your 20's. Then you'll find out what your weight should be. Jack Lalanne
By exercise. I'll tell you one thing, you don't always have to be on the go. I sit around a lot, I read a lot, and I do watch television. But I also work out for two hours every day of my life, even when I'm on the road. Jack Lalanne
I have spoken to a whole group of millionaires, head executives at Microsoft. Boy did I chew those guys out. Jack Lalanne
The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghostlike. Ralph Ellison
I am an invisible man. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Ralph Ellison
There must be possible a fiction which, leaving sociology and case histories to the scientists, can arrive at the truth about the human condition, here and now, with all the bright magic of the fairy tale. Ralph Ellison
Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat. Ralph Ellison
