Quotes of 1987

Quotes taken from the authors in 1987

I've always been seen as the underdog in everything I've ever done in my life, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The lessons have just made me stronger.

Victor Ortiz

I do not have a family, per se. When I was younger, I grew up in foster care with my brother and sister. It was really a struggle, and knowing that there were people out there with tight-knit families really made my childhood an unfortunate one.

Victor Ortiz

I appreciate everything that has been done for me. After a difficult start, I've just followed my dreams.

Victor Ortiz

I am very proud of the fact that I get to go out there every day and train in order to represent the Mexican people, and I can only hope they look up to me in a similar fashion.

Victor Ortiz

When you're growing up, it's always nice to have someone you can relate and look up to. I'm proud of how I conduct my business and how I have accomplished all that I have accomplished, and hope that I can be a positive influence on not only the Mexican community but also young boxers and people all around the world.

Victor Ortiz

The world is before you and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.

James A.Baldwin

No people come into possession of a culture without having paid a heavy price for it.

James A.Baldwin

The future is like heaven, everyone exalts it, but no one wants to go there now.

James A.Baldwin

The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one's key to the experience of others.

James A.Baldwin

American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.

James A.Baldwin

I'm not much interested in extrapolating science and technology; I merely use extrapolation as a means of putting people into new quandaries which produce colorful pressures and conflicts.

Alfred Bester

It's obvious we can't all be a Gully Foyle, but most of us energize at such a low level, so far short of our real capabilities, we could all be more, do more.

Alfred Bester

I'm a great believer in people and their untapped potential.

Alfred Bester

Most science fiction, quite frankly, is silly nonsense.

Alfred Bester

Being an athlete, you try to get protein.

Ronda Rousey

The style I have in judo is very unique... One big advantage a judo player has is they have very good posture and - like, wrestlers, they show when they're about to do a take-down... which judo players don't, and so I kind of incorporate the boxing style with a judo grip and finishing that way.

Ronda Rousey

If there's a camera on me or off me, it's roughly the same, just a lot less energy.

Ronda Rousey

I had to learn to take my time in MMA, and I was just able to keep a clear head.

Ronda Rousey

I respect Georges St. Pierre as a businessman and an athlete. I don't have anything against him personally. But he's not the kind of fighter I like watching.

Ronda Rousey

I really want to go back to school and finish up my sociology degree.

Alicia Sacramone
