Derby Day Sayings

#1. I feel less alone when I read the books of Ratzinger.

Oriana Fallaci

#2. A Home Run Derby is fun. It's just like taking batting practice, and you just want to go deep. Guys do it every day. Yes, there's a little more pressure when they pull that cage back, but if you practice properly, it shouldn't affect the second half of your season at all.

Frank Thomas

#3. Working hard is very important. You're not going to get anywhere without working extremely hard.

George Lucas

#4. English civilization rests largely upon tea and cricket, with mighty spurts of enjoyment on Derby Day, and at Newmarket.

Agnes Repplier

#5. When you're sent something and read it, either you can see it while you read it, or you can't.

Steven Soderbergh

#6. A law which attempts to say you can criticise and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed.

Rowan Atkinson

#7. We lost our way and allowed greed and excess to become the twin pillars of too much of the financial culture. We became a society utterly absorbed in consumption and dismissive of moderation.

Tom Brokaw

#8. Worship has a two-fold aspect ... we lift Him up and exalt Him, and as a result are drawn into His presence where He speaks to us.

John Wimber

#9. I am pure performance, and Robert Wilson is pure theater.

Marina Abramovic

#10. Kings and philosophers shit - and so do ladies.

Michel De Montaigne

#11. O, say does that star-spangled flag of pride yet wave? O'er the land of the free, and the home for the gay!

Lady Gaga

#12. Learn to uncrumple yourself, for life and people are always gung ho to crush you.

Vikrmn

#13. Your mind must always go, even while you're shaking hands and going through all the maneuvers. I developed the ability long ago to do one thing while thinking about another.

Richard M. Nixon

#14. The people, they need someone to live through. Trust me, I used to be in roller derby back in the day. People need a hero.

Mat Johnson

#15. I can't do it. I've been here before and it's not a room with a view. The only power I have is the negative power of withdrawal. If I don't withdraw I have no power at all. A relationship where one person has no power or negative power, isn't a relationship, it's the bond between master and slave.

Jeanette Winterson

#16. You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.

Ray Liotta
