Quotes of 1955

Quotes taken from the authors in 1955

I use my fiction to explore my own unconscious issues. I usually don't even know what's going on with me until I'm writing. That doesn't mean my books are autobiographical.

My father was an engineer - he wasn't literary, not a writer or a journalist, but he was one of the world's great readers. Every two weeks, he'd take me to our local branch library and pull books off the shelf for me, stacking them up in my arms - 'Have you read this? And this? And this?'

The writer is both a sadist and a masochist. We create people we love, and then we torture them. The more we love them, and the more cleverly we torture them along the lines of their greatest vulnerability and fear, the better the story.

I tried writing fiction as a little kid, but had a teacher humiliate me, so didn't write again until I was a senior in college.

To make films, you have to have boundless energy; you have to work and play with others really, really well, and I'm really a more contemplative kind of person. I like to sit at home and think, a lot.

It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

Albert Einstein

Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.

Albert Einstein

Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

Albert Einstein

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

Albert Einstein

We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.

Albert Einstein

In all my years of play, I never saw an ump deliberately make an unfair decision. They really called them as they saw 'em.

There ain't much to being a ballplayer, if you're a ballplayer.

I won't play for a penny less than fifteen hundred dollars.

I never have been sick. I don't even know what it means to be sick. I hear other players say they have a cold. I just don't know what it would feel like to have a cold - I never had one.

Somebody says, 'Do a Tom Bodett, a folksy kind of thing,' and it sounds like something out of 'Hee Haw,' very insulting. They turn wry humor into disparaging sarcasm, and you get what amounts to insulting advertising.

Tom Kizzia hasn't just observed and written about Alaska for three-plus decades, he's lived it. 'Pilgrim's Wilderness' is a story that needed to be told by the only man who could tell it.

I'm real. I believe what I'm saying. If Motel 6 wasn't the type of operation they say it is - and I stay at them when I travel - I wouldn't do their commercials. That comes through on the radio, and that's what it's all about.

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

I'm happy to report you still get nothing you don't need at Motel 6, and, therefore, you don't have to pay for it. I don't need valet parking. If I can drive the old crate 300 miles to the hotel all by myself, I can certainly handle the last nine feet to the parking space.

Pittsburgh was a great team. Coach Noll, Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, L.C. Greenwood and all those guys did a great job. That's the team that kept us from winning two Super Bowls. It was a great rivalry.
