Just like I find men who talk sports who don't really know sports annoying, I think men might find women who don't really have a true passion and knowledge of sports maybe not so attractive.

Matrimony is the high sea for which no compass has yet to be invented.

Heinrich Heine

Laurence Olivier said in an interview once that when he plays a tragedy he always aims for the funny parts, and the other way around. Because in a comedy you look for what's serious. I think that's true. Sometimes things are really funny if you're absolutely earnest. If you're really serious, it's hilarious.

Christopher Walken

I've been hearing this since I first joined the Reds organization, that I'm going to be the next this or that. It's tough on a young player coming up. You show some positive things and everybody jumps on that and says you should be the next Willie Mays.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believed.

William Blake

It was the end of the October term of my sophomore year, and everything was petty normal, except for Social Studies, which was no big surprise. Mr. Dimas, who taught the class, had a reputation for unconventional teaching methods. For midterms he had blindfolded us, then had us each stick a pin in a map of the world and we got to write essays on wherever the pin stuck. I got Decatur, Illinois. Some of the guys complained because they drew places like Ulan Bator or Zimbabwe. They were lucky. YOU try writing ten thousand words on Decatur, Illinois.

Neil Gaiman

It is commonly said that ridicule is the best test of truth; for that it will not stick where it is not just. I deny it. A truth learned in a certain light, and attacked in certain words, by men of wit and humor, may, and often doth, become ridiculous, at least so far, that the truth is only remembered and repeated for the sake of the ridicule.

Lord Chesterfield

To be prepared against surprise is to be trained. To be prepared for surprise is to be educated.

James Carse

It is easy to wish ill on others whom we feel deserve it, but remember that when you point a finger at another, three more are pointed back at you.

Stephen Richards

We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.

William Hazlitt

I've been very blessed in my personal life and in my career and I have never been ungrateful for what I have.

Mandy Patinkin

Few girls are as well shaped as a good horse.
