Quotes of 1955

Quotes taken from the authors in 1955

The struggle is always worthwhile, if the end be worthwhile and the means honorable; foreknowledge of defeat is not sufficient reason to withdraw from the contest.

All literature consists of whatever the writer thinks is cool. The reader will like the book to the degree that he agrees with the writer about what's cool.

But once you allow yourself to recognize necessity, you find two things: One you find your options so restricted that the only course of action is obvious, and, two, that a great sense of freedom comes with the decision.

To seek understanding before taking action, yet to trust my instincts when action is called for. Never to avoid danger from fear, never to seek out danger for its own sake. Never to conform to fashion from fear of eccentricity, never to be eccentric from fear of conformity.

Every once in while, a person will do something obvious and direct that is no more than it appears to be. I think they do it to throw you off.

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.

A pitcher's got to be good and he's got to be lucky to get a no hit game.

One of the fellows called me 'Cyclone' but finally shortened it to 'Cy' and its been that ever since.

Gosh, all a kid has to do these days is spit straight and he gets forty-thousand dollars to sign.

All us Youngs could throw. I used to kill squirrels with a stone when I was a kid, and my granddad once killed a turkey buzzard on the fly with a rock.

I thought I had to show all my stuff and I almost tore the boards of the grandstand with my fastball.

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

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.
