A tremendous social responsibility comes with being a successful public performer.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.

A. Bartlett Giamatti
Major sports are major parts of society. It's not anomalous to have people who love sports come from other parts of that society.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
I think that the young people today feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to their brothers and sisters because of the sacrifices that most families make to send their children to college.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
All I ever wanted to be president of was the American League.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
I'm the world's expert on sterotypes held by academics about athletes and held by athletes about academics. To me, both of them are caricatures.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
The university is our culture's assertion that what is made by the mind has value and can convey values.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
On a good day, I view the job [of president] as directing an orchestra. On the dark days, it is more like that of a clutch -- engaging the engine to effect forward motion, while taking greater friction.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
The banishment for life of Pete Rose from baseball is a sad end if a sorry episode. One of the game's greatest players has engaged in a variety of acts which have stained the game, and he must now live with the consequences of those acts. There is absolutely no deal for reinstatement.
