Quotes of 1947

Quotes taken from the authors in 1947

Desire is creation, is the magical element in that process. If there were an instrument by which to measure desire, one could foretell achievement.

Willa Cather

The miracles of the church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always.

Willa Cather

Paris is a hard place to leave, even when it rains incessantly and one coughs continually from the dampness.

Willa Cather

Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything.

Willa Cather

Every artist makes himself born. It is very much harder than the other time, and longer.

Willa Cather

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

When you reach that elite level, 90 percent is mental and 10 percent is physical. You are competing against yourself. Not against the other athlete.

Dick Fosbury

I adapted an antiquated style and modernized it to something that was efficient. I didn't know anyone else in the world would be able to use it and I never imagined it would revolutionize the event.

Dick Fosbury

I didn't train to make the Olympic team until 1968. I simply trained for the moment. I never even imagined I would be an Olympic athlete. It always seemed to evolve.

Dick Fosbury

To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year - but for a lifetime.

Bill Rodgers

I always say if the marathon is a part-time interest, you will only get part-time results.

Bill Rodgers

Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest.

Bill Rodgers

Anybody can be a runner... We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.

Bill Rodgers

I like rain, actually.

Bill Rodgers

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
