I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark, though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced. – Henry David Thoreau, “Solitude,” Walden, 1854
Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball — you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that. – Nomar Garciaparra
