Quotes of 1949

Quotes taken from the authors in 1949

Pete Rose is the most likable arrogant person I've ever met.

I could ask the Phillies to keep me on to add to my statistics, but my love for the game won't let me do that.

I don't think I can get into my deep inner thoughts about hitting. It's like talking about religion.

If you could equate the amount of time and effort put in mentally and physically into succeeding on the baseball field and measured it by the dirt on your uniform, mine would have been black.

Gold Gloves are nice to have people mention. They're basically saying you're a pretty good defensive player along with everything else. But I was about the offensive side.

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.

Sometimes thinking too much can destroy your momentum.

A lot of guys who have never choked have never been in the position to do so.

I'd rather fight 100 structure fires than a wildfire. With a structure fire you know where your flames are, but in the woods it can move anywhere; it can come right up behind you.

No other game combines the wonder of nature with the discipline of sport in such carefully planned ways. A great golf course both frees and challenges a golfer's mind.

If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively, then the design strategy is flawed.

There's almost always a point in a book where something happens that triggers the rest of the plot.

Jonathan Carroll

I feel like a cliche.

Jonathan Carroll

If I don't feel like writing today or for a few days, I don't. And I don't think about it. It is not an obligation-it is the greatest privilege.

Jonathan Carroll

I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now.

Jonathan Carroll

In Poland, my audience is all women between 18 and 30. At U.S. conventions, you have the fantasy and science fiction crowd. At Harvard you have an entirely different audience. It's so schizophrenic.

Jonathan Carroll
