Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I'll win a pennant every year.

It's a terrible thing to have to tell your fans, who have waited like Detroit's have, that their team won't win it this year. But it's better than lying to them.

Success is the person who year after year reaches the highest limits in his field.

Boston is known for its innovation.

The weird thing about grief, for me at least, was when each of my parents died, for a year or two afterwards I was pretty wildly brave - just willing to take life on.
