Quotes of 1949

Quotes taken from the authors in 1949

I never met a man I didn't want to fight.

I don't really trust a sane person.

I'm not sure where my career is going here in Cincinnati.

I have a lot of interests.

I'm a strong man, and usually I get over hurts and it makes me stronger when I come back.

I'm not a guy that sits around and does nothing.

The fundamentals of baseball haven't changed, but how we can teach those fundamentals has. With an e-book, learning can be more rewarding and fun.

I think I have already signed some scrap of paper for every man, woman, and child in the United States. What do they do with all those scraps of paper with my signature on it?

I keep telling myself, don't get cocky. Give your services to the press and the media, be nice to the kids, throw a baseball into the stands once in a while.

It's a weird scene. You win a few baseball games and all of a sudden you're surrounded by reporters and TV men with cameras asking you about Vietnam and race relations.

Sometimes in this game it's as good to be lucky as it is to be good.

When I wrote 'The Pregnant Widow' three or four years ago, I tried to reread my first novel, 'The Rachel Papers,' because their young heroes are the same age. I couldn't finish it. It seemed to me so technically slapdash and weak.

People ask me if I ever thought of writing a children's book. I say, 'If I had a serious brain injury I might well write a children's book', but otherwise the idea of being conscious of who you're directing the story to is anathema to me, because, in my view, fiction is freedom and any restraints on that are intolerable.

The process of writing a novel begins with a pang, a moment of recognition, and a situation, a character, or something you read in a paper, that seems to go off, like a solar flare inside your head.

Kingsley Amis was a lenient father. His paternal style, in the early years, can best be described as amiably minimalist - in other words, my mother did it all.

Weapons are like money; no one knows the meaning of enough.

Ali was a guy that had a lot of discipline. If you hung around him, you'd be able to get some of that discipline that he had. And I learned from that. He was a sweet man.

My fans know the name Larry Holmes and that he always gave it his all.

I don't think Joe Louis could take the punches today fighting in this era.

Everybody knows that I am one of the greatest fighters of all time and I would beat all those guys.
