Quotes of 1947

Quotes taken from the authors in 1947

I went to school with a guy named Truxton. He and I played football together, and he knocked me out once because he's bigger and strong than I am.

Henry Bromell

It's hard enough to tell good stories about people who analyze information for a living. It's even harder to do a good show about people who think for a living.

Henry Bromell

The United Nations was founded in the aftermath of World War II, just as the world was beginning to learn the full horrors of history's worst genocide, the Holocaust that consumed 6 million Jews and 3 million others in Europe.

Linda Chavez

Choosing one's leaders is an affirmation that the person making the choice has inherent worth.

Linda Chavez

Where journalists have gotten themselves in trouble over the last few decades is that their skepticism often extends only to American officials, the U.S. military and Republican politicians.

Linda Chavez

Liberals believe they own the franchise on minorities and can't stand any Hispanic or black who breaks rank.

Linda Chavez

Neither the wording of the amendment itself nor common practice challenged the widely held belief that government guaranteed freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

Linda Chavez

The car business is a lot like football. In football, you have to win once a week. In the car business, you have to win every day.

Tom Dempsey

The hurricane flooded me out of a lot of memorabilia, but it can't flood out the memories.

Tom Dempsey

There is nothing wrong with dedication and goals, but if you focus on yourself, all the lights fade away and you become a fleeting moment in life.

Pete Maravich

I accomplished what I set out to do, but I lost my discipline and my career.

Pete Maravich

It's hard when your father's the coach. Sometimes you don't know where one leaves off and the other begins.

Pete Maravich

My life had no meaning at all. I found only brief interludes of satisfaction. It was like my whole life had been about my whole basketball career.

Pete Maravich

I don't want to play 10 years and then die of a heart attack when I'm 40.

Pete Maravich

It's not what you achieve, it's what you overcome. That's what defines your career.

Carlton Fisk

The '70s were a time of turmoil and turnover. But I grew up here. I always wanted to play here.

Carlton Fisk

I always looked up there, because I remember a time when the only things on the walls in Fenway were the Jimmy Fund sign and the retired numbers. Never in a million years did you think you'd ever be up there with those guys.

Carlton Fisk

It's funny. Some people remember that a lot more than I do. I remember certain parts of it, and if everybody who mentioned that to me had been to the game who said they were at the game, there'd be 800,000 people at that game, I think.

Carlton Fisk

And then after that, running around the bases, it was just one of those things. You couldn't believe what happened to you. And I look back on it, it's almost like it happened to somebody else.

Carlton Fisk

I need about three seats lengthwise to sleep on a plane. It's not easy for me to curl up.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar
