Quotes of 1926

Quotes taken from the authors in 1926

I think writers need windows on a view to remind them that a whole world is out there, not the minutiae with which they might be dealing on a close scale.

Anne McCaffrey

At age 77, I need the help of someone with more energy than I can now summon to finish a book.

Anne McCaffrey

I have a shelf of comfort books, which I read when the world closes in on me or something untoward happens.

Anne McCaffrey

But Ship Who Sang remains my favorite story. I really rocked folks with that and still cannot read it aloud myself without weeping at the end.

Anne McCaffrey

I didn't raise Todd to be a writer, but he happened to be one anyway.

Anne McCaffrey

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

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

Marilyn Monroe

I defy gravity.

Marilyn Monroe

Why is it you always meet people when you look your worst?

Marilyn Monroe

What's the good of drawing in the next breath if all you do is let it out and draw in another?

Marilyn Monroe

I myself would like to become more disciplined within my work.

Marilyn Monroe

'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

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
