insomnia thinking ambitious
I used to think that driving, sleepless, ambitious labor was what you needed to succeed.
girlfriend boys dating
I suppose I was a little bit of what would be called today a nerd. I didn't have girlfriends, and really I wasn't a very social boy.
jobs thinking years
I don't think one should ever come to my stage of life and have to look back and say, Gosh. I wish I hadn't spent all those years doing that job I was never really interested in.
morning school kids
I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning, which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.
mother father kids
I had a little insight into life that most kids probably didn't have. My mother was a schoolteacher, and my father was a social worker. Through his eyes I saw the underside of society.
expression old-habits together
For a while there, I was a stringer. The expression comes from the old habit of stringing together the column inches that you had written. They'd measure it and pay you 10 cents an inch for your printed copy.
literature reader
I wasn't a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything that came along.
earthquakes planets unfinished
It takes an earthquake to remind us that we walk on the crust of an unfinished planet.
passion important enthusiasm
It's that enthusiasm, that passion for what you're doing, that is most important.
new-york cities light
New York is the true City of Light in any season.
typewriters joy trying
That was the overwhelming thing to me, the joy of carrying my portable typewriter to an event and trying to describe it.
heaven sun bills
If there are bleachers in heaven and a warm sun, that's where you'll find Bill Veeck.
heard asks
You never heard anybody ask 'Elvis who?'
country stars yankees
You can find your way across this country using burger joint the way a navigatior uses stars....We have munched Bridge burgers in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge and Cable burgers hard by the Golden Gate, Dixie burgers in the sunny South and Yankee Doodle burgers in the North....We had a Capitol Burger - guess where. And so help us, in the inner courtyard of the Pentagon, a Penta burger.
