Quotes of 1956

Quotes taken from the authors in 1956

I think that if all kids aspire to reach a point where they could feed themselves and a few of their friends, this would be good for the world surely.

Anthony Bourdain

If I'm in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I'd much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That's Rome to me.

Anthony Bourdain

The biggest empty space, the biggest gap in what should be a premier and always vibrant food scene in America is that we don't have hawker centers like they do in Singapore, basically food courts where mom and pop specialists can set up shop in fairly hygienic little stalls all up to health code making one dish they've been doing forever and ever.

Anthony Bourdain

I've been really fortunate in that I guess I was hired to do 'A Cook's Tour;' I was already a known quantity, meaning I had written a really obnoxious book and nobody expected me to be anyone that I wasn't already.

Anthony Bourdain

Get up early and go to the local produce markets. In Latin America and Asia, those are usually great places to find delicious food stalls serving cheap, authentic and fresh specialties.

Anthony Bourdain

Even though my mother had told me growing up that, 'If you win, nobody cares what color you are,' that wasn't necessarily true in the N.F.L.

Warren Moon

My biggest hero was Roman Gabriel, who was the QB of the Rams, and Roger Staubach. Those were the two guys I tired to emulate when I was little.

Warren Moon

I love basketball players for what they do for their size - so graceful.

Warren Moon

To me, being in your prime means playing your best and feeling your best, too.

Warren Moon

Kids tend to look up to sports figures and entertainers, probably more than they should, but I've tried to use that in a positive way.

Warren Moon

I'm not religious, but I believe that what I have is a gift, and I respect it and live up to it.

Sugar Ray Leonard

They say that I'm stubborn, and my wife says that, too, but it's paid off so far.

Sugar Ray Leonard

I think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing; if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Before I fight, I always pray that no one gets hurt.

Sugar Ray Leonard

No one but myself thought I could beat guys like Tommy Hearns or Roberto Duran.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Muhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh.

Gerry Cooney

By the time you're 30 years old, you can be on a nowhere street, if you're not careful.

Gerry Cooney

The bad press came because they thought I should fight more. I couldn't get the fights because if I would sign to fight one of King's guys I would be signed to him. I chose not to do that. In hindsight, that might have been a mistake.

Gerry Cooney

I lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion.

Gerry Cooney

I am involved in minor league baseball. I go around the country speaking to troubled youths, trying to help them understand that whatever path they choose, they'll need to really pay attention to it.
