“What I got out of baseball is what I have today, and I've got to look at that. I still see some of my friends that never made it past Triple-A. I made that last big step. I was lucky. I'm in love with my land. I got it all from playing ball. It gives me prestige. Someone says, 'What you got?' I say, 'One hundred and twenty-one acres of nice land.'” GivingLooksMadeStillsBigsTodayLastsPastStepsNiceLandLuckyHundredMy FriendsBaseballBallsGive MeTwentiesMade ItTwenty OnePrestigeAcres Author:Mark Fidrych
“What is so nice & so unexpected about life is the way it improves as it goes along. I think you should impress this fact on your children because I think young people have an awful feeling that life is slipping past them & they must do something - catch something - they don't quite know what, whereas they've only got to wait & it all comes.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayLifeShouldChildrenFactsFeelingsPastYoungLife IsWaitingNiceOur ChildrenAwfulYour ChildrenUnexpectedImpressSlipping Book:Love from Nancy: the letters of Nancy Mitford Source: Love from Nancy: the letters of Nancy Mitford

“Some poems take two to three years to finish. Rarely, a poem will arrive whole. It's nice when that happens.

“As for me, you wonder why I am a socialist. I'll tell you. It is because socialism is inevitable; because the present rotten and irrational system cannot endure; because the day is past for your man on horseback. The slaves won't stand for it. They are too many, and willy-nilly they'll drag down the would-be equestrian before he gets astride. You can't get away from them, and you'll have to swallow the whole slave-morality. It's not a nice mess, I'll allow. But it's been a-brewing and swallow it you must.” MenWholeWould BePastWonderNiceMoralitySlaveEndureSocialismMessInevitableGet AwayDragSocialistIrrationalRottenBrewingHorsebackEquestrian Book:Delphi Complete Works of Jack London (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Jack London (Illustrated)
“I'm incredibly proud to have been nominated in the past and it really means a lot to me because I do work very hard when I'm making a film and I do really do absolutely give my all. To get that kind of pat on the back, it's really amazing and also never something that I anticipated would possibly happen to me, ever. So I am very, very proud to have been there before. And, you know, the nice thing about nominations is that, same as awards, no one can actually take them away from you and I'm proud of that.” KnowsGivingKindMeanHas BeensHardHappensPastFilmNiceProudAwardsReally MeanNice ThingsAway From YouNominationsReally Amazing Author:Kate Winslet

“We [Americans] have a historical trauma when it comes to the past relationships when it comes to Native Americans and the history of how America was created. With this film, it's nice to see that the trauma is presented from a white male that was in the Civil War and that trauma affects him in a way that still exists.” WayStillsWarAmericaPastFilmWhiteNiceHistoricalMalesTraumaCivil WarNativeNative AmericanPast Relationship Author:Adam Beach
“Those traumas when it comes to the historical past generation to generation; our children, our grandchildren, our future grandchildren learn these behaviors. We have to know that they exist and we have to take care of those traumas and learn to heal from them. This movie shows that perspective from Scott's character, and I love it. It shows the American Indians as the ones who respect and help out when people are needed. It's a nice little twist.” PeopleKnowsChildrenLittlesCharacterHelpingShowsCarePastNiceGenerationsPerspectiveNeededBehaviorOur ChildrenHistoricalTraumaTake CareHealOur FutureGrandchildrenTwistsAmerican IndianPast Generations Author:Adam Beach
