Quotes of 1963

Quotes taken from the authors in 1963

I want to be a writer you can always depend on for a good read during your vacation, during your flight, during a time in your life when you want to forget the world around you.

Jeff Abbott

I do think Austin is a great town for writers; we have a lot of them here. But I grew up in Austin, and so I didn't move here because it was a creative mecca; I was just lucky to live here.

Jeff Abbott

No one forces me, or any other writer, to sell a film option on the books. If you don't want to run the risk that the filmmakers may adapt your work in a way you don't like, then you don't sell the option. You know when you sell it that they will have to make some changes, just because film and TV are different media than books.

Jeff Abbott

The nicest notes I've received from readers are those that tell me I've gotten them back into reading for entertainment. For me, there is no greater compliment.

Jeff Abbott

I outline in some detail, but even after the outline is done I often get a new idea that is an improvement, so the outline is a living, breathing thing as well. I also re-outline when I'm two-thirds done, to be sure that there is an emotional payoff from all the plot lines and to be sure the story is as tight as it can be.

Jeff Abbott

How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.

C. S. Lewis

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.

C. S. Lewis

A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.

C. S. Lewis

The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.

C. S. Lewis

Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.

C. S. Lewis

It's no secret what's going on in baseball. At least half the players are using steroids.

Ken Caminiti

I didn't think I was going to play that day. I'd have to thank the training staff for getting me on the field that day. They made a bigger deal than I thought it was.

Ken Caminiti

I had a real good thing going for me, and I got sidetracked. It doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't have to be drugs. It doesn't have to be alcohol. That part of my life is over.

Ken Caminiti

This is a great thing that's happening in baseball. We don't know if it will ever happen again.

Mark McGwire

I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.

Mark McGwire

I touched Roger's bat and held it to my heart. My bat will lie next to his. I'm damn proud of that.

Mark McGwire

I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history.

Mark McGwire

I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.

Mark McGwire

Faith is reason grown courageous.

Sherwood Eddy

Faith is not trying to believe something regardless of the evidence. Faith is daring to do something regardless of the consequences.

Sherwood Eddy
