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.

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

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

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.

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

'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

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

People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.

You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.

You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.

Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.

Statistics suggest that when customers complain, business owners and managers ought to get excited about it. The complaining customer represents a huge opportunity for more business.

It's pitching, hitting and defense that wins. Any two can win. All three make you unbeatable.

I know a baseball star who wouldn't report the theft of his wife's credit cards because the thief spends less than she does.

Baseball is a game of race, creed, and color. The race is to first base. The creed is the rules of the game. The color? Well, the home team wears white uniforms, and the visiting team wears gray.

The Orioles' Dick Hall comes off the mound like a drunk kangaroo on roller skates.

I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'
