I can't change something that I've been all my life. But I can work to express myself and talk more.

My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.

I like to be aggressive. I like to swing the bat.

My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.

I learned that I have to work hard every day, that I can't get down if I get in a slump.

I pray to God to be a great player, but I want to keep my life.

I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.

Major League Baseball should retire Roberto Clemente's number, just like they did Jackie Robinson's.

I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.

Now that I feel 100 percent, I'm looking forward to playing my game the way I want to-getting on base, stealing bases and trying to help the team any way I can.

I know there are a lot of expectations of me, and I will do the best I can.

In the domain of true religion, mere book-learning has no right to enter.

As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.

Journalism, some huge percentage of it, should be devoted to putting pressure on power, on nonsense, on chicanery of all kinds and if that's going to invite a lawsuit, well, bring it on.

Love is one and the same in the original; but there are a thousand different copies of it.

In the big city, if the man next door happens to be a slum landlord, a Mafia bag man, or a long distance runner, what does it matter, as long as he puts his garbage out on Tuesdays?

I'd be just incredibly humbled and honored to be the first woman president.

Imagine all of us living in peace, it's too beautiful to just be a dream.

This was my modest dream come true: unambitious flight. The kind that never even got high enough for a view.

To me happiness, true happiness is when you can really dance with sad.

Those who are pleased with the fewest things know the least, as those who are pleased with everything know nothing.
