Team doctors' jobs those days were to keep you on the field.

Merlin Olsen

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

General Omar Bradley

To those of us who know the pain, Of valentines that never came, And those whose names were never called, When choosing sides for basketball.

Janis Ian

I was very lucky. Things happened, both bad and good, but I never got into real, deep trouble. But it wore me down. By the time I was 18, I was done. I didn't want to live the life any more. I needed to develop past the point that busking takes you to.

Madeleine Peyroux

I want to change the furniture and look at townhouses. I've got two men who want everything to stay exactly the same.

I haven't any sort of plans for the future but I reckon things will work out in some manner.

Dashiell Hammett

Intercourse with a woman is sometimes a satisfactory substitute for masturbation. But it takes a lot of imagination to make it work.

Karl Kraus

Ease up, the play is over.

Horace Greeley

With a foreign policy appropriately rooted in some sense of humanitarian decency, the Central African crisis will not be easily ignored by American policymakers. It screams for remedy.

When I listen to these women, it makes what I thought were my hard knocks feel like little nudges.

Whoopi Goldberg

Had I not come out with an inspirational CD, you perhaps would have never known that I feel like I feel, that all songs, all the music I've ever done is a gift from God.

Smokey Robinson

Because the results are expressed in numbers, it is easy to make the mistake of thinking that the intelligence test is a measure like a foot ruler or a pair of scales. It is, of course, a quite different sort of measure. Intelligence is not an abstraction like length and weight; it is an exceedingly complicated notion - which nobody has yet succeeded in defining.

I like working solo and it was a lot of fun joking around with the audience, saying things. I'm only just learning how to do certain things.

Art Garfunkel

The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.

Doug Horton

New York is in my blood. Every time I come back, it's just a tonic. It's where I love to be, but you gotta do the commerce in order to do the art.

Swoosie Kurtz

BOTTLE-NOSED, adj. Having a nose created in the image of its maker.

Ambrose Bierce

DIE, n. The singular of "dice." We seldom hear the word, because there is a prohibitory proverb, "Never say die." At long intervals, however, some one says: "The die is cast," which is not true, for it is cut. The word is found in an immortal couplet by that eminent poet and domestic economist, Senator Depew: A cube of cheese no larger than a die May bait the trap to catch a nibbling mie.

Ambrose Bierce

I started in law school in '71 and graduated in '74. So I was training for the Olympics, running or averaging around 20 miles a day and going to law school full time.

Frank Shorter

As I have been saying for more than a year now, turning this vital mission over to the Iraqi people as soon as possible should remain a topic of debate for Congress while relying on our military commanders to set up the timetable.

Howard Coble

I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time, then you really don't have a good life.

Willie Mays

I'm just a very primitive, infantile folk singer.

Robert Wyatt

Many a man is praised for his reserve and so-called shyness when he is simply too proud to risk making a fool of himself.

J. B. Priestley

So, what I say to people is that politics has got to be about principle and values above all. Of course, there are times when you have to make accommodations.

Chris Patten

The horror of it is, every goddamn thing you look at seems pretty scary to me.
