Quotes of 1961

Quotes taken from the authors in 1961

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

Isaiah Thomas

Most players in this league say they want consistency.

Isaiah Thomas

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

Isaiah Thomas

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

Isaiah Thomas

You have to develop your whole game to completion.

Isaiah Thomas

Even good people are obliged to deceive.

Greg Lemond

Testing, we will never do enough of it.

Greg Lemond

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.

Greg Lemond

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

Greg Lemond

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

Greg Lemond

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.
