After he left, it would take her hours to fall asleep, and then when she woke up she would feel another onrush of agitated happiness, which was a lot like panic. She wished she could grab the happiness and mash it into a ball and hoard it and gloat over it, but she couldn’t. It just ran around all over the place, disrupting everything Picture Quote #1

What of it? If I die, I die. It will be no great loss to the world, and I am thoroughly bored with life. I am like a man yawning at a ball; the only reason he does not go home to bed is that his carriage has not arrived yet Picture Quote #1

I want someone who puts the whole ball of wax at risk. I want the kind of marriage where we would follow each other out into the stormy fatal sea or I’m not marrying at all Picture Quote #1

For a long time we dreamed of a real leather ball, and at last my brother had one for his birthday. The feel of the leather, the stitching round it, the faint gold letters stamped upon it, the touch of the seam, the smell of it, all affected me so deeply that I still have that ache of beauty when I hold a cricket ball Picture Quote #1

I think I throw the ball as hard as anyone. The ball just doesn’t get there as fast Picture Quote #1

There are too many false things in the world, and I don’t want to be a part of them. If you say what you think, you’re called cocky or conceited. But if you have an objective in life, you shouldn’t be afraid to stand up and say it. In the second grade, they asked us what we wanted to be. I said I wanted to be a ball player and they laughed. In the eighth grade, they asked the same question, and I said a ball player and they laughed a little more. By the eleventh grade, no one was laughing Picture Quote #1

How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball... The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I’ve got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can Picture Quote #1

The key step for an infielder is the first one, but before the ball is hit Picture Quote #1

I’m seeing the ball well. I’m not trying for home runs. I’m trying to hit to right field more. When I do that, the home run comes Picture Quote #1

The key to hitting for high average is to relax, concentrate, and don’t hit the fly ball to center field Picture Quote #1

Nobody likes the ball low and away, but that’s where you’re going to get it from me. I been pitching it there 50 years, away from them. That way they can’t hurt you. You keep the ball in the park Picture Quote #1

Believe me, I would much rather get three outs on three pitches than three outs on nine pitches, because that’s going to make me that much stronger at the end of the game. My pitching philosophy is simpe. I believe in getting the ball over the plate and not walking a lot of men Picture Quote #1

It is the best of all games for me. It frequently escapes from the pattern of sport and assumes the form of a virile ballet. It is purer than any dance because the actions of the players are not governed by music or crowded into a formula by a director. The movement is natural and unrehearsed and controlled only by the unexpected flight of the ball Picture Quote #1

Catching a fly ball is a pleasure, but knowing what to do with it after you catch it is a business Picture Quote #1

I had a wonderful experience on the golf course today. I had a hole in nothing. Missed the ball and sank the divot Picture Quote #1

Golf is more exacting than racing, cards, speculation, or matrimony. In almost all other games you pit yourself against a mortal foe; in golf it is yourself against the world: no human being stays your progress as you drive your ball over the face of the globe Picture Quote #1

The fun part of golf is the variety of shots. In football you can do anything with a ball, but you can do anything with a golf ball as well. When you hit a shot and the ball does exactly what you want it to do... that’s wonderful. It’s just great when you hit the ball well. You should always try not to make the ball cry Picture Quote #1

A golf ball can stop in the fairway, rough, woods, bunker or lake. With five equally likely options, very few balls choose the fairway Picture Quote #1

When you’re having trouble and topping the ball, it means the ground is moving on you Picture Quote #1

The hardest shot in golf is a mashie at 90 yards from the green, where the ball has to be played against an oak tree, bounces back into a sandtrap, hits a stone, bounces on the green and then rolls into the cup. That shot is so difficult I have made it only once Picture Quote #1

I’ve lost balls in every hazard and on every course I’ve tried. But when I lose a ball in the ball washer, it’s time to take stock Picture Quote #1
