Free Throws

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or throws:

“If I had not come to America, where I felt free to formulate tentatively insights at which I had empathically arrived, I would have accomplished very little. I would never have begun to publish, to teach, to undertake research. Because if one does not find an assenting echo to one’s ideas, if one is passed over, as I was in Vienna, then one cannot create. To create, after all, is to believe that what one says will count.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)

“Why should I apologize because God throws in crystal chandeliers, mahogany floors, and the best construction in the world?”
—Jim Bakker (b. 1940)
