    So you’ll face me with a court of inquiry, eh, in England. Well, Mr. Christian, we’re a long way from England and what can happen on this ship before we get there may surprise even you.
    Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)

    It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.
    Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
