Quotes of 1949

Quotes taken from the authors in 1949

I like cream cheese in just about anything.

Diane Mott Davidson

When I started to write culinary mysteries, I did it because nobody was doing it anymore.

Diane Mott Davidson

The thing is, if you make best-sellerdom your goal, you're going to be in trouble. It's a very nice thing to have happen, but if one makes that a goal like, say, a literary writer has the goal of getting the Pulitzer Prize, that's so unpredictable.

Diane Mott Davidson

Catering is extremely demanding financially and physically. It's a business.

Diane Mott Davidson

The main thing I look for in a recipe is taste, which is different from caterers and restaurants, who first ask 'How does it look?'

Diane Mott Davidson

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.

Baseball is a game of averages, but over a short period of time, to have a little luck going is not a bad thing.

I'd rather not, but if it will help the club, I'll do it. My ankle injury still bothers me sometimes.

Baseball's what I do.

I feel like I'm walking on eggs and can't take another step.

I don't have the acting skills my daughter has.

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.

If you're asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach.
