I was a ballplayer, but only for a limited time. I grew up playing in Wisconsin. It's a very sports-centric part of the country that I grew up in and I played a lot of sports, but baseball first and foremost. I played through high school. I was a middle-infielder.

Blaise Pascal

Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.

William Wordsworth

Aristotle uses a mother's love for her child as the prime example of love or friendship.

Mortimer Adler

Happiness is a Swedish sunset; it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it

Mark Twain

When I got out of acting school, I was lucky to have gotten any job at all. A lot of people hiring African American actresses - it was right after 'Roots,' and for society, not me, it was great. Nice richly dark-skinned people was the fashion, and I was not.
