Quotes of 1959

Quotes taken from the authors in 1959

I used to like whiskey. But it's been a long time since I've been drunk.

Claude Williams

I don't see any reason to quit playing. I'll be doing this at least till I get to a hundred and something. You know, I ain't got far to go. But I'm still going to be playing, as long as I have good ideas, and can play as I do.

Claude Williams

I'm a sweet eater. I love lemon pie and sweet potato pie.

Claude Williams

I've always overworked in the weight room. I love working with weights. I knew they'd give me the strength I needed.

Florance Griffith Joyner

The main reason I wanted to be successful was to get out of the ghetto. My parents helped direct my path.

Florance Griffith Joyner

I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.

Florance Griffith Joyner

Conventional is not for me. I like things that are uniquely Flo. I like being different.

Florance Griffith Joyner

If you want to run as fast as the men, you've got to train like the men.

Florance Griffith Joyner

Really in all my years on Tour, in the U.S. Open I probably played great golf in two of them, out of maybe 20, so it's a lot of work.

Fred Couples

I think people like players they can relate to. It seems as if people think they know me. I just think I'm an ordinary Joe who plays golf very, very well.

Fred Couples

My goal has always been to play golf, and play it well. In the end, that's what I am, a golfer. If my back lets me, I'm going to play my favorite places. If I hurt myself, that'll probably be it for a while.

Fred Couples

I'm not very good in the rain. I don't wear a golf glove.

Fred Couples

I left home at 17, traveled. I got married when I was 21. That's a young age. As it turned out, things were fine, then not so fine, and then it was a blunder. That happens all the time.

Fred Couples

God blessed me with two unbelievable parents, and I am just like both of them. I have the smile and charisma of my mother and the big heart of my mom, because she wants to save the world and help the world, so I am just like her.

Magic Johnson

The real story is that I had unprotected sex. That's that. That's easy.

Magic Johnson

When you are honest and open with young people, they let you in.

Magic Johnson

If you're a competitive person, that stays with you. You don't stop. You always look over your shoulder.

Magic Johnson

Ask not what your teammates can do for you. Ask what you can do for your teammates.

Magic Johnson

I don't think there's a difference between writing for a newspaper or magazine and doing a chapter in a book.

Rick Bragg

People who think there is something pedestrian about journalism are just ignorant.
