I think no one has written a history of the great coaches who were around 30 to 40 years ago who taught the fundamentals.

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have to change up the way you go at a player.

I have a remarkable ability to delete all better judgement from my brain when I get my head set on something. I have no sense of moderation, no sense of caution. I have no sense pretty much.

From a fallen tree all make kindling.

If you are a small company taking on a big company, you need to have a sense of humor.

The final result of our researches has widened the class of substances sensitive to light vibrations, until we can propound the fact of such sensitiveness being a general property of all matter.

Everyone is interesting. Everyone has something unexpected to offer and the job of acting is to pull it out of each other.

A people who extend civil liberties only to preferred groups start down the path either to dictatorship of the right or the left.
