I didn't know what narcissism was until I beheld my own naricssus.

I would like to explore some side roads in life while I am still in good health and good spirits.

You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.

If there are bleachers in heaven and a warm sun, that's where you'll find Bill Veeck.

I can't say that I've changed anybody's life, ever, and that's the real work of the world, if you want a better society.

What is it that binds us to this place as to no other? It is not the well, or the bell, or the stone walls, or the crisp October nights or the memory of dogwoods blooming. Our loyalty is not only to William Richardson Davie though we are proud of what he did 200 years ago today. Nor even to Dean Smith, though we are proud of what he did last March. No, our love for this place is based on the fact that it is as it was meant to be, the University of the people.

I made friends with a lot of those who could have criticized me in print and who didn't, who praised me instead.
