Quotes of 1994

Quotes taken from the authors in 1994

I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.

Wilma Rudolph

My doctor told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.

Wilma Rudolph

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.

Wilma Rudolph

Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.

Wilma Rudolph

I loved the feeling of freedom in running, the fresh air, the feeling that the only person I'm competing with is me.

Wilma Rudolph

I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.

Charles Bukowski

If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.

Charles Bukowski

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

Charles Bukowski

You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.

Charles Bukowski

Never get out of bed before noon.

Charles Bukowski

The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghostlike.

Ralph Ellison

I am an invisible man. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.

Ralph Ellison

There must be possible a fiction which, leaving sociology and case histories to the scientists, can arrive at the truth about the human condition, here and now, with all the bright magic of the fairy tale.

Ralph Ellison

Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.

Ralph Ellison

Good fiction is made of that which is real, and reality is difficult to come by.

Ralph Ellison

I think I'm mostly looking forward to the college life. I'm looking forward to more freedom. Here everything is really structured and scheduled, but in college you've got to be more responsible and you can get things done on your own time. I'm really looking forward to that.

Nerlens Noel

Then you've got Georgetown, and I really just like everything about them. When I went down there with my mom, it really opened my eyes to what they were all about. I have to factor in what a school like that can do for me, even away from being a basketball player.

Nerlens Noel

I look at Syracuse and I love the way that the coaches say they'll use me in their offense. I really like the family atmosphere there and I feel really comfortable there.

Nerlens Noel

My goals for next year are to win a national title first and foremost.

Nerlens Noel

Anyone who knows me knows my mom, Dorcina, has to sign off on any decision and that she will play a major part in any decision.

Nerlens Noel
