Citas de Louisville

• In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers.

• Louisville is a place with no labels. It’s not the South, it’s not Chicago, and you don’t think of it as you think of New York or LA. It has some Southern romanticism to it, but also a Northern progressivism, this weird urban island in the middle of the state of Kentucky that has always provided a fertile, often dark, bed. For us, Louisville and the surrounding areas are the center of massive creativity and massive weirdness. The place has its flaws: You move away, but you’re always going to come back.

• Boxing is a stepping stone just to introduce me to the audience. If I was still in Louisville, Kentucky and never was a boxer I still might get killed next week in some kind of freedom struggle and you'd ever hear the news.

• Una vez que el récord era mío, tenía que usarlo como un Louisville Slugger. Creía, y sigo creyendo, que había una razón por la que fui elegido para batir el récord. Siento que es mi tarea continuar donde Jackie Robinson lo dejó, y sólo conozco una forma de hacerlo. Es la única manera que he tenido de enfrentarme a cosas como las bolas rápidas y la intolerancia: seguir golpeándolas.

• Puede que fuera genial en el ring, pero fuera del boxeo, sólo soy un hermano como los demás. Quiero vivir una buena vida, servir a Dios, ayudar a todos los que pueda. Y una cosa más. Aún voy a averiguar quién me robó la bicicleta cuando tenía 12 años en Louisville y le voy a dar una paliza. Era una buena bicicleta.

• Louisville was also good place for being able to make whatever kind of music you wanted to. You didn't have to worry about renting a practice space or figure out when another band would be in there or worry about if your stuff is going to get stolen.

• Yo era una niña muy callada y tímida. Crecí en una ciudad pequeña, Louisville, Kentucky, y no había demasiadas chicas hawaianas-filipinas, así que llamaba la atención. No me parecía a los demás y no me sentía como en casa... Pero estas cosas forjan el carácter y te hacen más fuerte. Me enseñó a convertirme en la mujer que llegaría a ser.

• And he don't know...that I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive, carved my name into his leather seats. I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires...Maybe, next time he'll think before he cheats.

• Volví a Louisville después de las Olimpiadas con mi reluciente medalla de oro. Entré en un restaurante donde los negros no podían comer. Pensé en ponerlos en un aprieto. Me senté y pedí una comida. El campeón olímpico con su medalla de oro. Me dijeron: "Aquí no servimos a negros". Dije: "Está bien, yo no los como". Pero me pusieron en la calle. Así que bajé al río, el río Ohio, y tiré mi medalla de oro en él.

• Nunca me había sentido así en mi vida. No sabía que los seres humanos tocaban estos instrumentos. Los oí en Chicago y Louisville y St. Louis toda mi vida, ¿sabes? Pero no sabía que los seres humanos los tocaban, ¿sabes? Así que al día siguiente fui a la Coontz Junior High School y empecé con el sousafón, la tuba, el barítono si bemol, el contralto mi bemol, la trompa y el trombón.

• Me encontraba a pocas millas al sur de Louisville cuando planeé mi viaje. Extendí mi mapa bajo un árbol y me decidí a atravesar Kentucky, Tennessee y Georgia hasta Florida, de allí a Cuba y de allí a alguna parte de Sudamérica; pero sólo será un paseo apresurado. Estoy agradecido, sin embargo, por tanto.

• Louisville, KY - Barack Obama lost Kentucky in 2012 by 23 points, yet the state remains closely divided about re-electing the man whose parliamentary skills uniquely qualify him to restrain Obama's executive overreach. So, Kentucky's Senate contest is a constitutional moment that will determine whether the separation of powers will be reasserted by a Congress revitalized by restoration of the Senate's dignity.
