“Coming from the South, I just felt you had to work just a little bit harder. It was not going to be handed to you. I’d get the letters from all the major schools but no one came out to talk to me face to face until this small, dominant black school, Mississippi State Valley University sent a coach out to me. I had a chance to talk to him and he said, ‘Hey Jerry, we’re going to be doing some great things at Mississippi Valley State University and we would love to have you there.’” LittlesSaidStatesSchoolFacesFeltBitsBlackChanceMajorsLittle BitLettersHarderSouthUniversityCoachesGreat ThingsHeyValleysDominantFace To FaceMississippiTalk To MeJerryMississippi State Author:Jerry Rice
“When I'm through with the Lee Greenwood Theatre, I won't do anything else in entertainment. Maybe I'll become an ambassador for the United States maybe I'll get into television, some news anchoring or something in a major city. Certainly the visibility would interest me a little bit. But someplace that would allow me to sit still certainly.” LittlesStillsStatesBitsInterestUnitedCitiesUnited StatesTelevisionMajorsLittle BitNewsEntertainmentTheatreAmbassadorsVisibility Author:Lee Greenwood
“I think ultimately what you really want is a few people within any label that are into the band enough to really work on it every day for a long time and to actually try a little bit. But obviously, the major labels have more money to spend, so if they feel like spending it, they have bigger resources there when you need them. It doesn't always necessarily translate into them doing a better job for a band, but I think especially if you're playing the game of commercial radio and making videos and stuff like that, that's sort of an expensive proposition.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantNeedsFeelsTryingLittlesLongEnoughJobsGamesStuffBitsBandMajorsLittle BitLong TimeResourcesBiggerRadioSpendingVideoLabelsExpensiveMore MoneyTranslatePropositionsBetter Jobs Author:Adam Schlesinger

“Before the 3rd century you're having several philosophical schools still as a going concern. You have not only the Platonists and the Aristotelians but you have Scepticism, you have Stoicism, you even have a little bit of Epicureanism. And what happens after Plotinus is that everybody becomes a Neo-Platonist. So if we then go forward to the Islamic world for example, Plotinus is immensely influential, and Neo-Platonism becomes at least one major component of mainstream Islamic philosophy as well.” IfsWorldWellsLittlesStillsPhilosophyHappensSchoolBitsCenturyExampleMajorsLittle BitConcernPhilosophicalIslamicMainstreamStoicismComponentsInfluentialScepticismEpicureanism Author:Peter Adamson
“There was a Yale even before Larry [Kramer] and I got there, and there were three designations of students: "white shoe," "brown shoe," and "black shoe." "White shoe" people were kind of the ur-preppies from high-class backgrounds. "Brown shoe" people were kind of the high school student-council presidents who were snatched up and brushed up a little bit to be sent out into the world. "Black shoe" people were beyond the pale. They were chemistry majors and things like that.” PeopleWorldKindLittlesSchoolThreeBitsBlackPresidentWhiteClassStudentsMajorsLittle BitHigh SchoolShoesBackgroundsBrownChemistryPaleCouncilLarryYaleDesignationHigh School StudentsKramerHigh ClassWhite ShoesStudent Council Author:Kevin Sessums
