Dick Vitale always used to say to me, ‘Remember, this is an entertainment medium.’ People are not tuning in to a game to know how smart you are about basketball; they wanna enjoy it. And it took Dick years of saying that for me to settle in and say, ‘It’s also okay for me to have a little fun on the air.’ Doris Burke Read Quote
Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal. Victor Hugo Read Quote
I have great hope and faith, but it’s a humanistic faith based in facts; you have to believe that facts exist.

Greg Graffin Read Quote
I hate being alone. That’s why I like being with my friends: we’ve got energy; we’re social as hell. Lil Yachty Read Quote
In my sophomore year of high school, I watched my friend Loretta leave in a U-Haul headed for Oakland. She and her mom had been tenants in a nearby apartment, forced out by rent they couldn’t afford anymore. London Breed Read Quote
I try to keep it light and positive most of the time, whereas earlier on I didn’t always do that. Gordon Lightfoot Read Quote

To the extent societal rules or the wiring of your brains make it easy to acquire a lot of assets, then to the extent you can, you should try to improve the world. Mohnish Pabrai Read Quote
For me, fiction isn’t very cathartic. It can be a broad, long catharsis, but it’s a whole different thing – whereas music is physical. Essentially, it goes in through your ear. Fiction is cerebral, necessarily. It can do emotional stuff. But they don’t really compare – not for me. John Darnielle Read Quote
