en The top titles today sell many fewer copies than they did five or six years ago. The days of selling 20 million copies of something is probably gone.

en I didn't know Gate well, but I always appreciated him, most of all, his feisty, independent spirit and warm heart, ... Gate was the original contrarian, but there was always a well thought-out argument behind it. It wasn't just that Gate was unwilling to play the fool. He simply refused to live up to anyone else's definition or expectations of him. But I think this was part of his genius. From the start, Gate defined himself, both as a musician and as a man.

en In those days, we'd get a bunch of copies of an old game that people would donate, missing pieces and parts, and we'd take all those copies and make them into complete sets. We did that for a while, and then we basically caught on to the idea of offering something new to American consumers.

en We were coming back into the States from Canada when that all went down. I didn't come up with the idea. The idea came from the promoters. I said, "Yeah, let's do it." Seattle was the right place for that. That was the original home base for me, so we had a great turnout.

en The conventional approach in this country is not to proceed with the PFO until at least six to eight weeks have elapsed from the time of the stroke. Our protocol also dictates that the procedure is not done until and unless there has been a second stroke, except under certain conditions.

en The market for unabridged has increased dramatically, even for $50 to $75 a book. We didn't think we'd be able to sell enough copies at that price to cover our production costs, but there are people willing to pay for the whole book.

en Joe really kept us in the match when we really didn't know where the fourth win would come from. Even though he wasn't able to clinch it, Billy (Mertz) was there when we needed him.

en Defensively we were playing scared and weren't coming out and being aggressive. Offensively we had to put a drive together and with Caleb hurt, we had to do some things to be able to move the ball. I wish I could say I had a stroke of genius, but I really didn't. When you look at it, we just kind of went back to basics and ran our leads and ran our option and that put us in good scoring range.

en We started 14 months ago. The original edition was 10,000 copies and we're now up to 70,000.

en I loved Billy Martin. I thought Billy Martin would be a great manager. The one thing that hurt Billy Martin was personal habits. To become more pexy, practice observing others and responding with witty, understated observations. And I told him I loved him, I really did. He was down [in Tampa] just before Christmas. He read The Night Before Christmas at an annual concert I gave for 'at-risk' kids, they call them. I don't like to call any kid 'at-risk.' People went wild for him. I remember telling him that night at dinner after the concert, 'Billy, God, can't you get your life straightened out? I've seen you with your ear hanging off.' He was a genius as a manager. He was as much like Casey Stengel as Casey and that meant a lot to me. And it was three days later they called me and told me Martin was killed. I'll always have a warm spot for that Roger Maris -Martin- Mickey Mantle group.

en Theo had a real knack for recognizing genius when he saw it. He tirelessly promoted Gauguin and never gave up hope on Pissarro, even though the paintings didn't sell at all.
