Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.

I don't want to be one of those great players who never made it to the Series.

You have to keep running. I always believed I was going to be safe.

If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

Even the slowest guy can go from first to third and help win a ballgame.

I did so many things that made me a threat.

I don't think I ever got proper credit about being smart about the game.

I have to play baseball to make me happy. I have to be an athlete. But when it's all said and done, I'll be a normal father. A normal-type house man.

I love playing this game and every spring training feels like the first.

I love the game and I wanted to continue playing. It came to a time that I had to stop.

I wanted to be a part of something special and contributing to the launch of a new league was very exciting to me.

I'm a Hall of Famer and I'm still fighting for it because I love the game and I love to play.

I'm disappointed about how my career ended.

Just because I believed in what I was doing on the field and dedicated myself to playing the game, does that mean I'm cocky? Does that mean I'm arrogant?

Somehow, I've been blessed to be able to have the young spirit inside - not feel like every year I get a year older. I feel like every year I get a year younger. I don't wake up in the morning with aches and pains.

The only name on my birth certificate was Henley, no first name.

To all the kids out there: Follow your dream. Believe in your dream. Because dreams do come true.

To me the most important thing was stirring things up and scoring some runs so we could win a ballgame.

When you're a kid, you want to be a millionaire.

You never had the opportunity to play with some of the great ballplayers, but being that close around them, and being in the same category, was a great feeling, to feel that vibe of all the best players who played the game.

The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous. Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.

I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.

It's the price of success: people start to think you're omnipotent.

To fill the shoes of rock 'n' roll, because of the family I have, is a really hard thing.

James Agate, a great critic of the day, advised me that the way to learn your job properly was to learn Shakespeare, so I went to Stratford. It really sorts out the men from the boys.

The essential principles of the three-dimensional structure of organic molecules had been correctly formulated by the first Nobel laureate in Chemistry, Jacobus van't Hoff, as early as 1874.

I like to be quiet, and let people find me rather than having to shout at them.

Almost all new ideas have a certain aspect of foolishness when they are first produced.

I'm the type of skater that needs to stay upbeat and relaxed, open, because if I stay quiet, I get in my head, and then I start to think too much and start to doubt.
