Quotes of 1931

Quotes taken from the authors in 1931

Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson.

Willie Mays

And my father didn't have money for me to go to college. And at that particular time they didn't have black quarterbacks, and I don't think I could have made it in basketball, because I was only 5' 11". So I just picked baseball.

Willie Mays

It's not hard. When I'm not hitting, I don't hit nobody. But when I'm hitting, I hit anybody.

Willie Mays

I would try and help everybody, because the game was so easy for me. It was just like walking in the park.

Willie Mays

Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was.

Willie Mays

It's only a hitch when you're in a slump. When you're hitting the ball its called rhythm.

Eddie Mathews

I don't know where Hank Aaron will break Ruth's record but I can tell you one thing - ten years from the day he hits it three million people will say they were there.

Eddie Mathews

I don't think you can talk about progress in art - movement, but not progress. You can speak of a point on a line for the purpose of locating things, but it's a horizontal line, not a vertical one.

Donald Barthelme

My mother studied English and drama at the University of Pennsylvania, where my father studied architecture. She was a great influence in all sorts of ways, a wicked wit.

Donald Barthelme

Painters, especially American painters since the Second World War, have been much more troubled, beset by formal perplexity, than American writers. They've been a laboratory for everybody.

Donald Barthelme

There's not a strong autobiographical strain in my fiction. A few bits of fact here and there.

Donald Barthelme

Desire is the most important factor in the success of any athlete.

Bill Shoemaker

If Jack Nicklaus can win the Masters at 46, I can win the Kentucky Derby at 54.

Bill Shoemaker

There are one hundred and ninety nine ways to beat, but only one way to win; get there first.

Bill Shoemaker

When you're riding, only the race in which you're riding is important.

Bill Shoemaker

The intelligent man is one who has successfully fulfilled many accomplishments, and is yet willing to learn more.

Ed Parker

Traditionalists often study what is taught, not what there is to create.

Ed Parker

What we do want to see is reforms that are going to have a permanent effect on the budget deficit.

Ed Parker

I just think we shouldn't get into counting coaches' records. I've never been for that... but I know that's just American society.

Dean Smith

If you make every game a life and death proposition, you're going to have problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot.

Dean Smith
