Quotes of 1926

Quotes taken from the authors in 1926

One of the great lessons I've learned in athletics is that you've got to discipline your life. No matter how good you may be, you've got to be willing to cut out of your life those things that keep you from going to the top.

Bob Richards

Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.

Bob Richards

I won it, at least five million times. Men who were stronger, bigger and faster than I was could have done it, but they never picked up a pole, and never made the feeble effort to pick their legs off the ground and get over the bar.

Bob Richards

'I Am Legend' is quite unusual for its time. I just wanted to write a story about female boxers, and I couldn't get that going in my mind. I don't know exactly where the idea of just a man pitting himself against a robot boxer came from.

Richard Matheson

To me there is nothing that goes against nature. If it seems incomprehensible, it's only because we haven't been able to understand it yet.

Richard Matheson

I could never write about strange kingdoms. I could never do 'Harry Potter' or anything like that. Even when I did science-fiction, I didn't write about foreign planets and distant futures. I certainly never did fantasies about trolls living under bridges.

Richard Matheson

I wrote about real people and real circumstances and real neighborhoods. There was no crypt or castles or H.P. Lovecraft-type environments. They were just about normal people who had something bizarre happening to them in the neighborhood.

Richard Matheson

I had to write about realistic circumstances. That's the way my brain works. And I think that gave me a sort of place in the field.

Richard Matheson

It's about focusing on the fight and not the fright.

Robin Roberts

Oh well, the truth hurts, doesn't it?

Robin Roberts

The combination of landing the biggest interview of my career and having a drill in my back reminds me that God only gives us what we can handle and that it helps to have a good sense of humor when we run smack into the absurdity of life.

Robin Roberts

I cannot believe how fine I am with being bald.

Robin Roberts

Everything's the same; I'm living with cancer and it's not going to stop me. But until you really test yourself and challenge yourself, I don't think you quite know.

Robin Roberts

My high salary for one season was forty-six thousand dollars and a Cadillac.

Duke Snider

Swing hard, in case they throw the ball where you're swinging.

Duke Snider

What a player does best, he should practice least. Practice is for problems.

Duke Snider

In the split second from the time the ball leaves the pitcher's hand until it reaches the plate you have to think about your stride, your hip action, your wrist action, determine how much, if any the ball is going to break and then decide whether to swing at it.

Duke Snider

Man, if I made one million dollars I would come in at six in the morning, sweep the stands, wash the uniforms, clean out the office, manage the team and play the games.

Duke Snider

Girls shouldn't worry about being the equal of men in the business world.

Marilyn Monroe

I defy gravity.
