“I figure there are enough self-opinionated assholes trying to get their ugly little faces in front of you as it is. You ask a lot of kids today what they want to be when they grow up, and they say, 'I want to be famous.' You ask them, 'For what reason?' and they don't know or care. I think Andy Warhol got it wrong - in the future, so many people are going to become famous that one day everybody will end up being anonymous for 15 minutes.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantTryingLittlesEndsSelfReasonEnoughCareKidsTodayFacesAsksGrowsGrowing UpMinutesFrontsFiguresOne DayUglyOpinionatedWarhol Author:Banksy

“One day he [Wagner] was batting against a young pitcher who had just come into the league. The catcher was a kid, too . The pitcher threw Honus a curve ball, and he swung at it and missed and fell down. Looked helpless as a robin. I was kind of surprised, but the guy sitting next to me poked me in the ribs and said, 'Watch this next one.' Those kids figured they had the old man's weakness, you see, and served him up the same dish - as he knew they would. Well, Honus hit a line drive so hard the fence in left field went back and forth for five minutes.” MenWellsKindSaidHardKidsYoungGuyNextLeftLinesWatchesFiveMinutesFieldsOne DayWeaknessSittingBallsLeagueOld ManDishesHelplessFenceCurvesFive MinutesBack And ForthPitcherRobinsRibsBattingCatchersWagnerLeft Field Author:Burleigh Grimes

“For me, everything is about Jesus and Father and the Holy Spirit, and relationships, and life is an adventure of faith lived one day at a time. Any aspirations, visions and dreams died a long time ago and I have absolutely no interest in resurrecting them (they would stink by now anyway). I have finally figured out that I have nothing to lose by living a life of faith.
