Quotes of 1953

Quotes taken from the authors in 1953

I am very grateful to the electronic world for making my life easier, but there is something about holding a book - the smell and the world of association. Even when e-books are perfected, as they surely will be, it will be like being in bed with a very well-made robot rather than a warm, soft, human being whom you love.

Anne Fadiman

The most important thing when starting out with essay writing is to find a voice with which you're comfortable. You need to find a persona that is very much like you, but slightly caricatured.

Anne Fadiman

For me, literature is a way of enlarging myself by learning about people who are not like me.

Anne Fadiman

I would like to attribute my range of interests to being an independent intellectual, but although I'm independent, I'm not sure I qualify as an intellectual. Basically, I'm an old-fashioned amateur.

Anne Fadiman

I always wanted to be a writer, and I did want to be a novelist. In college I took a couple of classes that taught me I would never be a novelist. I discovered I had no imagination. My short stories were always thinly veiled memoir.

Anne Fadiman

You never know what's going to happen the rest of the way. You can't predict. You don't know what Montreal is going to do to us this weekend, and you don't know what the Cubs are going to do to the Cardinals.

Keith Hernandez

The Yankees have better starting pitchers than Arizona. Arizona just has two... the Yanks have four.

Keith Hernandez

Acting is really not what I'm interested in. I'm not an aspiring actor and you should be able to tell.

Keith Hernandez

I didn't cost the Series. I cost a game in the regular season.

Keith Hernandez

They can't have Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling lose a game.

Keith Hernandez

The decisions you are making right now and that you will make in the foreseeable months and years will absolutely determine whether you pivot towards the world or towards the Lord.

Sheri L.Dew

I had a lot of friends who were boys. I played ball with them, but we didn't date. They didn't ask me that much because I wasn't cute enough or because I didn't drink or party.

Sheri L.Dew

No 11-year-old girl wants to be 5-10. I always felt big and unattractive.

Sheri L.Dew

If we don't do as well as we know how and we are prepared to do, it'll be largely because we act and make choices as though we're going to stay here, as though this life is all there is, when that is not the case.

Sheri L.Dew

There isn't anyone who wants to see me married more than I do.

Sheri L.Dew

I have this horrible weakness. I fall in love with my characters. 'Suspect' started as a one-shot, but I just love Maggie so much, and I love Maggie and Scott and what they have going.

Robert Crais

Everyone knows dogs. Most people love dogs. I think most American families probably have a dog, but I don't think people really realize or understand just how wonderful and special dogs are.

Robert Crais

I don't think about the gender of my readers or about reader expectations. I'm frankly scared to. I figured out a long time ago that if I tried to guess the audience, it would be like me trying to guess which stocks to buy.

Robert Crais

The sense of smell in all dogs is their primary doorway to the world around them.

Robert Crais

I tried to reject everything I knew as a TV writer when I decided to be a novelist, and the books didn't work. Finally I realized I should go back to all the techniques I'd learned.
