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'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.

Eric Jerome Dickey

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.

God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight.

I have a lot of respect for tough coaches.

But the Bible speaks against it, and because the Bible speaks against it, we allow rampant sin including homosexuality and lying, and to me lying is just as b ad as homosexuality, and we've allowed this sin to run rampant in our nation.

One thing that God revealed to me is that we as Christians are going to have to get a portion of the media so that we can present the good news on a major basis the way that they're presenting the bad news on a major basis.

Let me explain something when I'm talking about sin, and I'm talking about all sin. One of the biggest ones that has been talked about that has really become a debate in America is homosexuality.
