More From John Updike

More In Respect
- "We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That’s life. And it’s part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001."― Michael Bloomberg
- "Because we should always respect other nationalities, I have always tried to play them with dignity."― Ricardo Montalban
- "I don’t want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I’ve had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing."― Robbie Fowler
