If I can't get the girl, at least give me more money.

Keep it simple, keep it sexy, keep it sad.

Mitch Miller

In America, we have three major sports - baseball, football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.

Maurice Greene

Many medal winners dream of competing in a sport other than the one they're famous for.

Mary Lou Retton

As long as our civilization is essentially one of property, of fences, of exclusiveness, it will be mocked by delusions. Our riches will leave us sick; there will be bitterness in our laughter; and our wine will burn our mouth. Only that good profits, which we can taste with all doors open, and which serves all men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You know, you can make a small mistake in language or etiquette in Britain, or you could when I was younger, and really be made to feel it, and it's the flick of a lash, but it would sting, and especially at school where there's not much privacy, and so on. You could, yes, undoubtedly be made to feel crushed.

Christopher Hitchens

In The Touch, the love scenes are the same as they were in The Thorn Birds or anything else I've ever written. I find a way of saying that either it was heaven or hell but in a way that still leaves room for the reader to use their own imagination.

Colleen McCullough

I had a classic gym teacher in junior high who wore a weightlifter's belt all the time.

Danny McBride

I'd always been a news junkie, always read lots of newspapers and watched the Sunday morning news shows on TV and felt strongly about issues of power, control, sexuality and race.

Barbara Kruger

No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.

Friedrich von Schiller

As long as acquiring knowledge is the educational goal of schools, educational opportunities will be limited, as they are now, to affluent families.

William Glasser

The openness of rural Nebraska certainly influenced me. That openness, in a way, fosters the imagination. But growing up, Lincoln wasn't a small town. It was a college town. It had record stores and was a liberal place.

Matthew Sweet

The other night I came home late, and tried to unlock my housewith my car keys. I started the house up. So, I drove itaround for a while. I was speeding, and a cop pulled me over.He asked where I lived. I said, right here, officer. Later,I parked it on the freeway, got out, and yelled at all the cars,Get out of my driveway!
