Quotes of 1972

Quotes taken from the authors in 1972

I think Judy Blume, Stephen King, and Dean Koontz are the three authors responsible for my being where I am today. I owe them a lot.

Don't ever let the other stuff get in the way of your inherent skills as a kick-butt storyteller. Move the reader, make them happy and sad and excited and scared. Make them stare into space after they've put the book down, thinking about the tale that's become a part of them.

When I'm feeling a little empty in the head, I like to go see movies or read to loosen things up there.

Be unpredictable, be real, be interesting. Tell a good story.

I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities.

No disrespect to Kyle Orton, who's been solid and stable for both the Broncos and the Bears, but I think the upside for Tim Tebow is greater right now.

My mom still lives in Denver and some of my brothers are still in the area, so I still have strong ties there.

There is no such thing as sportsmanship.

You can be the best person in the league but if you don't win championships, something's missing.

Jackie Robinson

There's not an American in this country free until every one of us is free.

Jackie Robinson

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

Jackie Robinson

Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.

Jackie Robinson

I guess you'd call me an independent, since I've never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label.

Jackie Robinson

I made a lot of good friends in Philadelphia and the last thing that I would want to do is dog anyone in that clubhouse. If I made it sound like that, it was a mistake.

You've never seen Manhattan 'til you've flown right up the East River. It's beautiful.

On the days I'm pitching, it's almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100%.

I may not be in the weight room as much as some guys, but I get my work done.

Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.
