    10 inspirational quotes by roland barthes

    • Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.
    • I encounter millions of bodies in my life; of these millions, I may desire some hundreds; but of these hundreds, I love only one.

    • Having twin girls is a life changer – that’s for sure. But I like getting up and changing diapers. It’s the things you do.
    • I don’t need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can’t live without it. I’d be totally cool without tennis.
    • I’ve done so many interviews over the years in so many different languages. Radios. Papers. Magazines. There’s always another interview to do. It’s quite something, I have to say.
    • My heart is in South Africa, through my mum. My mum being from here, me spending a lot of time here as well, I feel most connected to this part of the world.

    10 insightful quotes by roger baltrey

    10 great quotes by rod serling

    • Every writer is a frustrated actor who recites his lines in the hidden auditorium of his skull.
    • We’re developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won’t be able to think.

    10 insightful quotes by robin wright

    10 notable quotes by roberto clemente

    • When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a baseball player. This is something I think about. The more I think about it, I’m convinced that God wanted me to play baseball.
    • I would be lost without baseball. I don’t think I could stand being away from it as long as I was alive.
    • If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body.
    • There’s no difference between me and you. You need something, a glove, a place to live, you let me know.
    • I wasn’t ready for the majors when I joined the Pirates in 1955. I was too young and didn’t know my way around.
    • The Dodgers told me a big bonus was no good, and they said other players would resent it. Better for me to take a small amount of money and work my way.
    • I used to watch Monte Irvin play when I was a kid. I idolized him. I used to wait in front of the ballpark just for him to pass by so I could see him.
    • I loved the game so much that even though our playing field was muddy and we had many trees on it, I used to play many hours every day.
    • They said you’d really have to be something to be like Babe Ruth. But Babe Ruth was an American player. What we needed was a Puerto Rican player they could say that about, someone to look up to and try to equal.
    • The farther away you writers stay, the better I like it. You know why? Because you’re trying to create a bad image of me… you do it because I’m black and Puerto Rican, but I’m proud to be Puerto Rican.
