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.

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 feel in some ways I've had a difficult life. And it makes me the kind of writer I am, in what I value, what I respect, what I hold dear.

Basically, all anyone has to do is ask me for fun details or tell me to be creative, and my mind turns to mud. I am instantly the most boring person you've ever met.

Whenever people say they didn't like the main character of a book, they mean they didn't like the book. The main character has to be a friend? I don't get that.

I live by Edith Wharton's rule to get rid of anything neither useful nor beautiful. So I put the TV out on the street.

When I sit down to write, I don't have any real goals except to follow one good sentence with another... I'm not the kind of writer who has a map.

I know I've got to learn to believe in myself.

I'm supposed to relax and concentrate on the image of myself out there skating my race.

I've been so mutilated by a lot of articles. I know I haven't said a lot of things I'm quoted as saying in the papers.

As both a local resident and a parent with a CF-afflicted child, I'm thankful for companies like Canon, Chase and Outback who believe that giving back to the community is critical to their role as corporate citizens.

I have reviewed literally hundreds of dotcoms in my drive to bring Boomer Esiason Foundation onto the Internet, and have selected ClickThings as a partner because of the advanced technology it offers small business, and its understanding of the entrepreneurial spirit of the small business community.
