Quotes of 1961

Quotes taken from the authors in 1961

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

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.

My goal is for Gunnar to outlive me. That's the way it should be. My dream is for him to be a dad himself one day, so he can find out all the anxiety that kids bring to their dads.

Over the years, I've enjoyed working for WFAN and MSG - two sports giants in the industry. There couldn't be a better fit due to the long-standing history both entities have had with NY sports.

You can imagine what a dorm room environment is to a CF parent. It's like, oh my God. It's crazy.

Even good people are obliged to deceive.

Testing, we will never do enough of it.

Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife's life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego.

There are few things that you can't do as long as you are willing to apply yourself.

It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.
