One of the things I've always liked about my husband is he's very good at lots of stuff. He was an English teacher when I met him. He wrote poetry and played the guitar. As time went on, he decided to go into economics, so he's very analytical and mathematical in addition to his artsy side.

Flannery O'Connor

I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.

Roger Kahn
