“As a little kid, not only is my dad Jo-Jo White, but M. L. Carr is involved in the family, Red Auerbach is my godfather, and my stepmother was an Olympic-caliber sprinter. Athletes were all around. I happened to be a natural athlete. If I wasn't, it might have been hell. But I never got any pressure from my mom and dad to be an athlete.” IfsLittlesHas BeensMightKidsNaturalWhiteHellHappenedMomDadInvolvedRedPressureMy DadAthleteMy MomLittle KidMight Have BeenMom And DadCaliberBeing A DadStepmothersSprinters Author:Brian J.

“Human beings have got a lot of good, noble impulses inside them, and most people want to be good and do more good than they do evil. Hell, we've had nuclear weapons now for thirty or thirty-five years and nothing's happened yet. That in itself seems to be a miracle. If Reagan pushes the button or somebody pushes the button in Russia or somebody pushes it in Costa Rica, they can put a big tombstone in outer space that says, "We gave it a good try." Because we have.” PeopleIfsWantTryingYearsHumansBigsSeemsEvilPresidentHuman BeingsSpaceHellHappenedWeaponsMiracleBe GoodNobleNuclearRussiaImpulseNuclear WeaponsButtonsOuter SpaceTombstoneAmerican PresidentCosta Rica Author:Stephen King
“Breaking my neck was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have an Olympic medal. I've been to so many countries I would never have been, met so many people I would never have met.

“The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies. This Bible is built mainly out of fragments of older Bibles that had their day and crumbled to ruin. So it noticeably lacks in originality, necessarily. Its three or four most imposing and impressive events all happened in earlier Bibles; there are only two new things in it: hell, for one, and that singular heaven I have told you about.” TwoLyingThreeHeavenInterestWealthMoralHellFourHappenedBloodEventsThousandBuiltNobleCleverRuinsOriginalityNew ThingsFragmentsImpressiveFablesImposingObscenityGood Moral Author:Mark Twain
“When a Dalmatian sees a cow he must be like, 'What the hell happened to him? I am high right now. That dalmatian is fat and smeary.'

“When I began research, I read the writings of the Sonderkommandos. They are not well known, but these prisoners wrote from the middle of hell from Auschwitz, to let the world know what happened.

“You're always thinking, "What does that add up to?" You can't really get a handle on it. I was curious.
