Quotes of 1961

Quotes taken from the authors in 1961

Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.

The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that's it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it.

I may have been fierce, but never low or underhand.

The crowd makes the ballgame.

Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.

I believe in the players and what I've put together and we'll make it work.

Most players in this league say they want consistency.

It was important to me to believe, because if I don't believe, how can I expect them to believe?

I've always believed no matter how many shots I miss, I'm going to make the next one.

You have to develop your whole game to completion.

I don't like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can't do it.

Ernest Hemingway

I'm not going to get into the ring with Tolstoy.

Ernest Hemingway

Pound's crazy. All poets are. They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.

Ernest Hemingway

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

Ernest Hemingway

Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over.

Ernest Hemingway

I'm just trying to write a good story, strictly from imagination. People just think it's random, they don't see the rewriting, phrasing of characters, choosing the words, bringing the world to light in which the characters live in. That creates an illusion that this is real.

Eric Jerome Dickey

As a writer, I challenge myself not to tell the same story - to tackle different characters with different issues.

Eric Jerome Dickey

I want those young whipper-snappers to know that in days past we actually used to kill trees and make those things called books.

Eric Jerome Dickey

It's impossible to explain creativity. It's like asking a bird, 'How do you fly?' You just do.

Eric Jerome Dickey

For a lot of people, becoming an author is a change in occupation... they are coming from something that totally has nothing to do with this. If they are expecting to come into a room full of people praising them, then they are in the wrong place.
