"That famous writerâ€™s block is a myth as far as Iâ€™m concerned. I think bad writers must have a great difficulty writing. They donâ€™t want to do it. They have become writers out of reasons of ambition. It must be a great strain to them to make marks on a page when they really have nothing much to say, and donâ€™t enjoy doing it. Iâ€™m not so sure what I have to say but I certainly enjoy making sentences."

-- Gore Vidal

What is really going to make me happy? Do I want to be sixty-five years old looking back and regretting not ever having taken the chance or the risk?”

“One curve I'll always remember was when I was pitching for Pittsburgh. Terry Kennedy was a young player with St. Louis. I threw him an 0-2 curve and it snapped. Terry's reaction was to swing straight down, like he was chopping the plate with an axe. It was the last out of the inning. After I ran off the mound, I looked over at the St. Louis dugout. There were players rolling around on the floor, laughing. Poor Terry. I'll have to admit that was a hell of a curveball.”
