“If you rap your knuckles against a window jamb or door, if you brush your leg against a bed or desk, if you catch your foot in a curled-up corner of a rug, or strike a toe against a desk or chair, go back and repeat the sequence. You will find yourself surprised how far off course you were to hit that window jamb, that door, that chair. Get back on course and do it again. How can you pilot a spacecraft if you can't find your way around your own apartment?”
William S. Burroughs

“I want to thank my parents for letting me play baseball. I'm thankful I had baseball knuckles and couldn't become a dentist...I got $2,100 a year when I started in the big league, and they get more money now. ...I chased the balls that Babe Ruth hit.”
Casey Stengel
“I am pondering the paper cut on my knuckle. This is not an education. I am in daycare.”

“There's a half-inch metal plate behind that pad, and he hit that pad with his middle knuckle and broke a bone in his hand. He hit it again, and blood started squirting out. Boy, I can tell you he had our attention from then on.”
Bob Lilly
“What will probably happen is they will knuckle down and vote for reform. Things are getting better in Japan and the architect of that appears to be moving toward retaining power.”
Callum Henderson
“You do want your big guns for the play-offs. We'll just have to knuckle down and work as a unit.”
