Quotes of 1958

Quotes taken from the authors in 1958

No taxation without respiration.

Tom Feeney

Two things Florida can teach the other 49 states: how to make a good margarita and how to deal with the aftermath of a hurricane.

Tom Feeney

To me the most important thing was stirring things up and scoring some runs so we could win a ballgame.

Rickey Henderson

My journey as a player is complete.

Rickey Henderson

People recognize me - but if you've been in the public eye as long as I have and people don't recognize you, I feel bad about myself.

Rickey Henderson

In baseball you train the whole body, except for the hip and eyes.

Rickey Henderson

You never had the opportunity to play with some of the great ballplayers, but being that close around them, and being in the same category, was a great feeling, to feel that vibe of all the best players who played the game.

Rickey Henderson

No matter how noble and special people want to make the playoffs out to be... it's a crapshoot.

Orel Hershiser

Body piercing and baggy clothes express identity among black youth, and not just beginning with hip-hop culture. Moreover, young black entrepreneurs like Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs and Russell Simmons have made millions from their clothing lines.

Michael Eric Dyson

It is bad enough to be white and poor; it is worse still to be black, or brown, and female, and young, and poor. Simply said, race makes class hurt more.

Michael Eric Dyson

When you look at a guy like a Jay-Z or look at a guy like a Nas, you don't necessarily qualify them as conscious rap purely, although they are extremely conscious of the social inequities that prevail.

Michael Eric Dyson

White supremacy is the conscious or unconscious belief or the investment in the inherent superiority of some, while others are believed to be innately inferior. And it doesn't demand the individual participation of the singular bigot. It is a machine operating in perpetuity, because it doesn't demand that somebody be in place driving.

Michael Eric Dyson

I think the O.J. Simpson case conjured all the paranoia, the racial anxiety, but also the racial fatigue that America has endured over the last half century.

Michael Eric Dyson

I've never felt that I was less of an athlete or not accomplished athletically because I didn't win an Olympic medal. It's definitely something I would have liked to have added to my resume, but at the same time I think I can look back at my athletic career and feel that I was one of the best.

Mary Decker

I can jog, but I can't run. That's hard for me. I like the fact that I can jog for fitness, but to me there's a huge difference between jogging and running.

Mary Decker

I can't complain about my life. I have a really nice life. I have a great family and I live in a gorgeous part of the country.

Mary Decker

I've always got such high expectations for myself. I'm aware of them, but I can't relax them.

Mary Decker

We have a lot of property and we take care of it mostly ourselves, so that's what I spend a lot of time doing, which I love because I'm outside.

Mary Decker

If you put a baseball and other toys in front of a baby, he'll pick up a baseball in preference to the others.

Tris Speaker

It would be useless for any player to attempt to explain successful batting.
