Get in the game. Do the best you can. Try to make a contribution. Learn from today. Apply it to tomorrow.

You could be a kid for as long as you want when you play baseball.

If you do a job, do it right or there is no point.

I didn’t just show up for work, as has sometimes been said. I also showed up to work.

As long as I can compete, I won't quit.

All I really try and do is live up to my potential and do as well as I possibly could and to bring to the ballpark each and every day a good effort and do the best that I could each and every day.

Stubbornness usually is considered a negative; but I think that trait has been a positive for me.

The best thing you can do in the whole world is to play baseball. That's a lucky job... The passion for baseball is always going to be there.

Sometimes I think sportsmanship is a little bit forgotten in place of the individual attention.

When things happen to you in the worst way, you live with it, you go over it, you think, 'What else could I have done?

I always thought being a gamer and someone who had a sense of responsibility to the game and to my teammates was the honorable thing.

I know I wrote letters to people with no address on this earth, I know that you are dead. But I hear you. I hear all of you. We were here. Our lives matter.

So tell me, Tamara darlin', what other needs can I help you take care of?

I also thought of playing improvisational jazz and I did take lessons for a while. At first I tried to write fiction by making up things that were completely alien to my life.

But in a lot of ways my poems are very conventional, and it's no big deal for me to write a poem in either free verse or strict form; modern poets can, and do, do both.

I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, 'Where? What?' and turn away.

There are a lot of cameramen but not so many photographers. And a lot of cameramen attack from a technical approach without much imagination. They look, but they don't see.

The Dutch customs once thought my pictures were photos. Where on earth did they think I could have photographed my subjects? In Hell, perhaps?

If you are in a deep dark well with no rope to climb, hold on to the hope, because it is also a strong rope!

Women wanted to be viewed as equals to men. So men were like, 'You wanna be viewed as equal to me, then open your own damn door.' But I still don't view it as an excuse to be an a**hole.

I love crazy, gaudy bling.
