It has happened to me to meet many of the men of my day whom the world agreed to call great. Rebecca Harding Davis
It means a lot to be back in New York. Particularly since one of the last senior event scheduled in the States was supposed to be here in New York. We were supposed to play in Central Park right after 9-11 and when 9-11 happened obviously things changed. John McEnroe
It sounds funny, but the 2008 Olympics were something that just kind of happened, and I was lucky they came at a point when I was uninjured and well prepared. As a gymnast, you can't ask for much more. Shawn Johnson
Just soaking up the history of the Boston Celtics has been the best thing that's happened to me as a player. Paul Pierce
Losing my parents was the most crushing thing that ever happened to me. I lost my dad when I was 26, and it changed my life entirely. Harlan Coben

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night.

Marilyn Monroe
Something has happened where you almost never grow up in America. Maybe it's the greater wealth. Jonathan Ames

The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something.

The only thing that's changed is the competitiveness of the series. It's only become harder to win in our series as the years have gone by. Competition breeds good things, and that's what's happened here. Al Unser
