I have lived the American dream. Even my worst days as attorney general have been better than my father's best days.
I have no interest in non-fiction. I don't read it and don't watch it and don't write it, other than a little journalistic column.
Baseball games are like snowflakes and fingerprints, no two are ever alike.
Hardly anybody recognizes the most significant moments of their life at the time they happen.
Baseball is the most perfect of games, solid, true, pure and precious as diamonds. If only life were so simple. Within the baselines anything can happen. Tides can reverse; oceans can open. That's why they say, "the game is never over until the last man is out. " Colors can change, lives can alter, anything is possible in this gentle, flawless, loving game.
Praise the name of baseball. The word will set captives free. The word will open the eyes of the blind. The word will raise the dead. Have you the word of baseball living inside you? Has the word of baseball become part of you? Do you live it, play it, digest it, forever? Let an old man tell you to make the word of baseball your life. Walk into the world and speak of baseball. Let the word flow through you like water, so that it may quicken the thirst of your fellow man.
Syzygy, inexorable, pancreatic, phantasmagoria - anyone who can use those four words in one sentence will never have to do manual labor.
Recovering from a gunshot wound is not a vacation. You need to, like, write that on your hand or something.
Agile, athletic, sleek-all these things describe my game!
Ads are not written to entertain. When they do, those entertainment seekers rare little likely to be the people whom you want. This is one of the greatest advertising faults. Ad writers abandon their part. They forgot they are salesmen and try to be performers. Instead of sales, they seek applause
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
