Cobb는 지겨운 놈이다. 그러나 그는 안타를 잘 친다. 신이시여 그 남자는 타자를 잘 한다.
파리는 그리 좋은 동네가 아니다.
절대로 스트라이크 아웃을 당할지도 모른다는 두려움이 너의 앞을 가로막지 못하도록 해라.
야구는 예전부터, 그리고 앞으로도 나에게는 최고의 게임일 것이다.
야구는 세월이 지남에 따라 변모한다. 그것은 더 순해진다.
스트라이크 아웃에 대한 두려움이 너의 발목을 잡도록 하지 말아라.
각각의 스트라이크는 나를 다음 홈런으로 조금 더 가까이 다가서게 해준다.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.
Reading isn’t good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn’t hit home runs. So I gave up reading.
I’ll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They’re too much fun.
If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.
If I’d just tried for them dinky singles I could’ve batted around .600.
I’d play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump [Wrigley Field] all the time.
I won’t be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.
I never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I’ve heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.
I didn’t mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball… The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I’ve got. I hit big or I mi
Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It’s hard to keep awake with nothing to do.
Don’t ever forget two things I’m going to tell you. One, don’t believe everything that’s written about you. Two, don’t pick up too many checks.
As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher’s mound. It was as if I’d been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.
All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.
내가 생각하기에 이 세상의 유일한 스포츠는 야구다.
내가 날린 수많은 홈런 중에서 의식하고 때린 것은 하나도 없다.
상대 투수가 나에게서 잡는 모든 스트라이크가 나를 다음 홈런과 더욱 가깝게 한다.
내가 그 많은 홈런을 칠 수 있었던 이유는 1390개의 스트라이크아웃이 있었기 때문이다.
세게 잡을수록 맞았을 때 더 멀리 나간다. 크게 넘어가든지 크게 휘두르든지…
읽기는 야구선수한테 안 좋다. 눈에 안 좋단 말이다. 내가 눈이 조금이라도 안 좋았으면 홈런을 칠 수 없었을 것이다. 그래서 읽는 건 포기했다.
팀플레이가 성공을 결정한다. 대단한 슈퍼스타들 여럿을 모아놓아도 팀플레이를 제대로 하지 못한다면 10센트 동전보다도 쓸모없는 팀이 될 것이다.
홈에 들어오기 위해서는 1루, 2루, 3루 베이스를 차례로 밟지 않으면 안 된다.

질낮은 영화를 보는 것 보다 더 나쁜 단 한가지는 그 영화에 출연하는 것이다.
진실은 태양과 같다. 한동안 막아 낼 수는 있지만, 어디론가 가버리지는 않는다.
제 아버지와 어머니는 두분 모두 노래를 즐겨하셨습니다.
여러분, 여러분들이 날 그냥 빤히 바라만 보고 있을 거라면 난 자러 가겠습니다!
아무에게도 해가 되지 않는 선에서 네가 옳다고 여기는 것을 해라.
네가 이해하지 못하는 걸 비평하지 말거라. 너는 그 사람의 입장이 되어 본 적이 없단다.
난 천한 움직임은 하지않아.
난 그냥 내 맘대로 행동할 뿐이야
나는 음악에 대해서 아무것도 몰라. 내 위치쯤 되면 몰라도 되.
나는 음악에 대해서 아무것도 모른다. 내가 있는 선에서는 음악에 대해서 알 필요가 없다.

I am hands on with this with Bruno
You got change, man?
People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn’t copy my style from anybody . . . . Country music was always an influence on my kind of music
I don’t want to read about some of these actresses who are around today. They sound like my niece in Scarsdale. I love my niece in Scarsdale, but I won’t buy tickets to see her act.
Singers come and go, but if you’re a good actor, you can last a long time
I learned very early in life that: “Without a song, the day would never end; without a friend, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend- without a song” So I keep singing a song
The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said ‘What’d I do? What’d I do?
I knew by heart all the dialogue of James Dean’s films; I could watch “Rebel Without a Cause” a hundred times over.
When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times…I learned very early in life that: “Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed — without a song.” So I keep singing my song
Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity

I ain’t no saint, but I have tried never to do anything that would hurt my family or offend God. I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs. If I could do or say anything that would give some kid that feeling, I would believ
The image is one thing and the human being is another…It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.
When I was a child I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I have ever dreamed has come true a thousand times
A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It’s my favorite part of the business, live concerts
Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just shorta do’em all together, I guess
Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can’t help but move to it. That’s what happens to me. I can’t help it
I believe in the Bible. I believe that all good things come from God. I don’t believe I’d sing the way I do if God hadn’t wanted me to.
Rhythm is something you either have or don’t have, but when you have it, you have it all over
Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside
I have no use for bodyguards, but I have very specific use for two highly trained certified public accountants
