Quotes of 1947

Quotes taken from the authors in 1947

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

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

I wanted to play baseball!

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

I think the NBA players have to be held accountable in a reasonable way, just like any other professionals.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

I think black Americans expect too much from individual black Americans in terms of changing the status quo.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

I was getting hot flashes and sweats on a regular basis. That's not normal, even for my age

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

I did not have anything to do with these murders. Ever.

O J Simpson

I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant.

O J Simpson

I'm absolutely, l00 percent, not guilty.

O J Simpson

Money takes wings. The only thing that endures is character.

O J Simpson

My NFL pension can barely pay my son's tuition. You know, it's very little money.

O J Simpson

The intelligent are to the intelligentsia what a gentleman is to a gent.

Stanley baldwin

Let us never forget this: since the day of the air, the old frontiers are gone. When you think of the defense of England you no longer think of the chalk cliffs of Dover; you think of the Rhine. That is where our frontier lies

Stanley baldwin

The bomber will always get through. The only defense is in offense, which means that you have to kill more women and children more quickly that the enemy if you want to save yourselves.

Stanley baldwin

I am not struck so much by the diversity of testimony as by the many-sidedness of truth.

Stanley baldwin

War would end if the dead could return.

Stanley baldwin

I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn't that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I'd already been translating French poetry, I'd been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.

Paul Auster

Even in New York, there are a lot of very attractive girls pedaling around. That just happens to be one of the nice sights in our city, seeing a young woman on a bike.

Paul Auster

Becoming a writer is not a 'career decision' like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don't choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you're not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days.

Paul Auster

How is it possible for someone who believes that the world was created in six days to have a rational conversation with me, who doesn't believe that, about other possibilities?

Paul Auster

You tend to feel very hurt when people attack you and feel indifferent when you get praise. You think, 'Of course they like it. They should like it.'

Paul Auster
