Fire QuotesThose who attended (the annual meeting) last year saw your Chairman pitch to Ernie Banks. This encounter proved to be the titanic duel that the sports world had long awaited. After the first few pitches...I fired a brushback at Ernie just to let him know who was in command. Ernie charged the mound, and I charged the plate. But a clash was avoided because we became exhausted before reaching each other.  I write just because the fire of my emotion is burning. Had I not, I would not have been able to find peace. If hell has no answer for the questioning dead, it is not because it refuses to answer (for rigorous, alas, in observance, is the imperishable fire), but it is because hell has nothing to say, will say nothing eternally. The look of love alarms
Because 'tis filled with fire;
But the look of soft deceit
Shall win the lover's hire. If your descent is from heroic sires,
Show in your life a remnant of their fires. I am the only fire that can live in the rain. Husbands are like fires - they go out when unattended. I sit beside my lonely fire
And pray for wisdom yet:
For calmness to remember
Or courage to forget. Perhaps [Condoleezza Rice] would have made a more timely cameo in New Orleans had a Chevron tanker caught fire. Jane Crow seems to be just as willing as old Jim [Jim Crow laws]was. It's folks what juggle fire. A fire eater must eat fire even if he has to kindle it himself. If you held your fire until you were very close, you seldom missed. I wouldn't be surprised if in our lifetime dogs and firehoses are released or opened on us. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of us get a billy club to the head. I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, some of us go to jail just like Martin Luther King did on trumped up charges. Tough times are coming. Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. Sweetie, you wouldn't blow off a class if your head was on fire. |
