• The hiss of the quenched element, the breakage of the pitcher which I had flung from my hand when I had emptied it, and, above all, the splash of the shower-bath I had liberally bestowed, roused Mr Rochester at last though it was dark, I knew he was awake; because I heard him fulminating strange anathemas at finding himself lying in a pool of water. 'Is there a flood?' he cried

• I have all my life been on my guard against the information conveyed by the sense of hearing -- it being one of my earliest observations, the universal inclination of humankind is to be led by the ears, and I am sometimes apt to imagine that they are given to men as they are to pitchers, purposely that they may be carried about by them.

• Ahora mismo lo que tengo en mente es subir ahí y ser disciplinado. Estaba haciendo muchos lanzamientos fuera de la zona de strike, y cuando haces eso, no vas a tener la oportunidad de hacer strikes. Cada vez que lo hago, se lo pongo más fácil al lanzador.

• Certain guys, they can see a guy do a certain thing with their glove and know what pitch is coming. I couldn't do that. But I can get on first base and I can tell you by his move if that pitcher is going to first base or home plate every time.

• I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.

• Liza poured thick batter from a pitcher onto a soapstone griddle. The hot cakes rose like little hassocks, and small volcanoes formed and erupted on them until they were ready to be turned. A cheerful brown, they were, with tracings of darker brown. And the kitchen was full of the good sweet smell of them.

• When like the patriarchs we learn to dig wells of virtue and spiritual knowledge within ourselves by means of ascetic practice and contemplation, we will find within us Christ the spring of life (cf. Gen. 26:15-18). Wisdom commands us to drink from this spring, saying, 'Drink water from your own pitchers and from the spring of your own wells' (Prov. 5:15). If we do this we shall find that the treasures of wisdom truly are within us.

• Mi padre jugaba en un equipo de minas de carbón del este de Ohio; era un lanzador muy bueno. Si no se hubiera lesionado el brazo, probablemente le habrían dado una oportunidad en algún sitio. Se lesionó el brazo una primavera, no calentó lo suficiente, ya no podía lanzar una bola rápida. Otro minero le enseñó a lanzar la bola nudillo.

• You don't need Little League. You don't even need nine kids. Four is plenty-a pitcher, a batter, and a couple of shaggers. You can play ball all day long. My kids used to try to get me out there, but I'd just say, "Go play with your brothers." If kids want to do something, they'll do it. They don't need adults to do it for them.

• I notice a lot of hitters fraternize with pitchers. I see guys laughing and giggling before the game. These are the same pitchers who are trying to beat them. I've never seen Roger Clemens talking to hitters before the game. Bob Gibson was the same way. Man, I don't even see (Greg) Maddux playing golf with hitters.

• I want to stay around longer than the pitchers who were at the top when I came into the big leagues. I don't want to be gone and have all the old guys - Seaver, Carlton, Ryan and Sutton - still pitching. I got rid of Palmer, now I want to outlast the rest of them.

• Bajo diversos nombres, sólo te he alabado a ti, ¡ríos!
  Sois leche y miel y amor y muerte y danza.
  De un manantial en grutas ocultas, filtrándose de rocas musgosas,
  donde una diosa vierte agua viva de un cántaro,
  En claros arroyos de la pradera, donde los riachuelos murmuran bajo tierra,
  Tu raza y mi raza comienzan, y el asombro, y el paso rápido.
