Quotes of 1961

Quotes taken from the authors in 1961

If you ask any great player or great quarterback, there's a certain inner confidence that you're as good as anybody. But you can't say who is the absolute best. To be considered is special in itself.

It's nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn't concern yourself with things like that - but it does matter.

I know I've got to just keep throwing the ball. That's what I do best.

You can do more, you can always do more.

I've been a Dolphin for 17 years, and I'll be a Dolphin for the rest of my life. That will never change.

I started getting letters from college in the tenth grade.

If you feel pain, you have to make up your mind whether you can play with it or not.

You can practice against each other, but there's something about a game situation.

I played basketball to try to get my parents from working so hard.

It's somewhat of a normal procedure sometimes when you have a knee drained... so long as it's not something you have to do every game.

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

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.
