"Judgment traps you within the limitations of your comparisons. It inhibits freedom." ― Willie Stargell Topic(s): Freedom More From Willie Stargell "I owe a large part of my success to Joe Brown, who helped me both as a player and a person." "I’m always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don’t get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself." "There’s nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street." More In Freedom "No, my work does not reflect my sexual preferences, it reflects the fact that I feel total freedom as an artist."― Patti Smith "I was 37 when my father died-and I no longer had any freedom of choice over what I would do with the rest of my life."― Paul Getty "Peace with the Palestinians will open ports of peace all around the Mediterranean. The duty of leaders is to pursue freedom ceaselessly, even in the face of hostility, in the face of doubt and disappointment. Just imagine what could be."― Shimon Peres
