Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    “I thought I never wanted to be a father. A child seemed to be a series of limitations and responsibilities that offered no reward. But when I experienced the perfection of fatherhood, the rest of the world remade itself before my eyes.”
    —Kent Nerburn (20th century)

    “Mountains of Whimseys, heaped in his own Brain,
    Stumbling from thought to thought, falls headlong down
    Into Doubt’s boundless Sea, where like to drown,
    Books bear him up a while, and make him try
    To swim with Bladders of Philosophy,”
    —John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    “...I didn’t come to this with any particular cachet. I was just a person who grew up in the United States. And when I looked around at the people who were sportscasters, I thought they were just people who grew up in the United States, too. So I thought, Why can’t a woman do it? I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.”
    —Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 85 (June 17, 1991)
