Quotes of 1929

Quotes taken from the authors in 1929

Probably the best thing that happened to me was going nuts. Nobody knew who I was until that happened.

I didn't mind if they yelled at me, but when they came on the field, it was a different story.

I've had 117 fights and that's the first time I've ever won.

You touch me and I'll kick you in the rear.

I'm the gooney bird that walked to the bank. I'm doing better than most of those guys who said I was crazy.

A manager has his cards dealt to him and he must play them.

We have eyes, and we're looking at stuff all the time, all day long. And I just think that whatever our eyes touch should be beautiful, tasteful, appealing, and important.

One day I think it's the greatest idea ever that I'm working on. The next day I think it's the worst that I've ever worked on - and I swing between that a lot. Some days I'm very happy with what I'm doing, and the next day I am desperate - it's not working out!

Let's put it this way: if you are a novelist, I think you start out with a 20 word idea, and you work at it and you wind up with a 200,000 word novel. We, picture-book people, or at least I, start out with 200,000 words and I reduce it to 20.

They are deceptively simple. I admit that. But for me, all my life I try to simplify things. As a child in school, things were very hard for me to understand often, and I developed a knack, I think. I developed a process to simplify things so I would understand them.

The hardest part is developing the idea, and that can take years.

New York is great, but the New England fans are probably the most knowledgeable and ardent fans, and not just in baseball, but all sports. But Red Sox Nation is Red Sox Nation.

If some guys couldn't stand the heat, then they didn't belong in the major leagues. I don't know anybody who refused the World Series checks I helped them get.

There were times when I'd bench players for their lack of effort. We worked very hard on fundamentals, which was the Dodger way. We needed to be more aggressive.

Sometimes a week might go by when I don't think about that game, but I don't remember when it happened last.

When it was over, I was so happy, I felt like crying. I wanted to win this one for Casey. After what I did in Brooklyn, he could have forgotten about me and who would blame him? But he gave me another chance and I'm grateful.

Love planted a rose, and the world turned sweet.

Katharine Lee Bates

It is the hour to rend thy chains, the blossom time of souls.

Katharine Lee Bates

A right delayed is a right denied.

Martin Luther King

A riot is the language of the unheard.

Martin Luther King
