More Brutes Quotes
Chicks who dig home runs aren't the ones who appeal to me. I think there's sexiness in infield hits because they require technique.

As the skies appear to a man, so is his mind. Some see only clouds there; some, prodigies and portents; some rarely look up at all; their heads, like the brutes,' are directed toward Earth. Some behold there serenity, purity, beauty ineffable. The world runs to see the panorama, when there is a panorama in the sky which few go to see. — Henry David Thoreau

We will be controlled by a tyrant, and we will no longer be free. — Frank Peretti
