A life isn't significant except for its impact on others' lives.

I don't like needing anyone for anything.

Pop flies, in a sense, are just a diversion for a second baseman. Grounders are his stock trade.

Relationships may change throughout the gift of time, memories stay the same forever in my mind.

Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.

It's not easy to be a martyr in the field of race relations.
