 "When human hearts break and human hearts despair, then from the twilight of the past the great conquerors of distress and care, of disgrace and misery, of spiritual slavery and physical compulsion, look down on them and hold out their eternal hands to the despairing mortals."
  Adolf Hitler

 'Dumas Walker' was a big hit. It was about a guy who actually sold firecrackers and beer on the Tennessee line. We lived in Kentucky, and you couldn't buy either. Twenty years later we wrote this silly ditty in 20 minutes, but we weren't aware that everyone had a Dumas Walker.

 (The Patriots did) a lot more wrong than we did right. I don't think we have enough time here to go through all of that. . . . Bad coaching. Bad playing. Just bad football. And a lot of good football from Denver. When those two forces collide, then that's what you have – 28-3.

 (The United States) and Russia have a joint responsibility to continue nuclear disarmament and we must fight against a new arms race. And we find that the president's suggestions really should be considered and they should be considered by NATO and Russia and also in the U.S.,

 A big man who's athletic will eventually wear down a smaller man but if you have a big man that can't stay on his feet, can't get to the ball, who is always on the ground, then you have problems. You can't play with guys like that. There's a fine line between the good players.

 A book is like a man / clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
  John Steinbeck

 A decade or two ago, the market was not strong enough for new market-rate development to work in East New York; today it does. And with low interest rates, you see lots of market-rate construction that is affordable to people making roughly an average income for New York City.

 A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
  Aldous Huxley

 A handful of guys are struggling. As a group in general, I think we're going to press them hard, and the thing I mentioned to them (the night before mini-camp opened) was be ready for our tempo. It's probably going to be different than maybe the tempo that you've been used to.

 A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
  Meister Eckhart

 A lot of times, he was talking before the point was over, and I asked (the chair umpire) if he could do that. A lot of times before they made the call, (Murray) was screaming, 'Yes!' I didn't like it. After the call is made, he can cheer as much as he can. But not before that.

 A part of that is because we added a fall season. We play through September and it used to play through the third week of August. I just felt like one of the reasons they had built the housing and had made major theater renovations in 1992 was they wanted to extend the season.

 A state that suppresses all freedom of speech, and which by imposing the most terrible punishments, treats each and every attempt at criticism, however morally justified, and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason, is a state that breaks an unwritten law.

 A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

 Above all, a query letter is a sales pitch and it is the single most important page an unpublished writer will ever write. It's the first impression and will either open the door or close it. It's that important, so don't mess it up. Mine took 17 drafts and two weeks to write.
