Wisdom & Quotes

  • (On baseball players who break curfew: ) It ain't getting it that hurts them, it's staying up all night looking for it. They got to learn that if you don't get it by midnight, you ain't gonna get it, and if you do, it ain't worth it.
- quoted in Robert Creamer, Stengel

Henry Miller
