How tall are you big boy? Six foot nine inches! Let's go up to my place and talk about the nine inches!

Mae West

If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three inches, that is not progress.

Malcolm X

You don't stick a knife in a man's back nine inches and then pull it out six inches and say you're making progress.

Malcolm X

That was...that was choking. You're right. But of course when you play against (Roger) Federer, he's No. 1 in the world, he won three grand slams last year, and he's just full of confidence. It's difficult to do anything regular to beat him. You have to do something extra to be able to have the chance to beat him. Set points, I had six of them and I couldn't take one. But I was close.

Marat Safin

Interestingly, koi, when put in a fish bowl, will only grow up to three inches. When this same fish is placed in a large tank, it will grow to about nine inches long.

Vince Poscente

Did you ever notice, when you are sitting at a red light, that when the person in front of you pulls up a couple of inches, you are compelled to move up too? Do we really think we are making progress toward our destination? "Whew, I thought we would be late, but now that I am nine inches closer, I can stop for coffee and a danish!"

Jerry Seinfeld

Anybody who has ever tried to rectify an injustice or set a record straight comes to feel that he is going mad.

Mary McCarthy

Home plate is 17 inches wide, but I ignore the middle 12 inches. I pitch to the two-and-a-half inches on each side.

Warren Spahn

Ninety-nine percent of the time, if you're straight with the press, they'll be straight with you.

Thomas P. O'Neill

I'm not overweight. I'm just nine inches too short.

Shelley Winters

I'll fight anybody my trainer puts me in with because I'm confident I can beat any fighter in the world. If anybody can see I'm almost a master at evading punches coming at me.

Mike Tyson

The bartenders are the regular band of Jack, and the heavenly drummer who looks up to the sky with blue eyes, with a beard, is wailing beer-caps of bottles and jamming on the cash register and everything is going to the beat - It's the beat generation, its béat, it's the beat to keep, it's the beat of the heart, it's being beat and down in the world and like oldtime lowdown.

Jack Kerouac

You don't stick a knife in a man's back nine inches and then pull it out six inches and say you're making progress ... No matter how much respect, no matter how much recognition, whites show towards me, as far as I am concerned, as long as it is not shown to everyone of our people in this country, it doesn't exist for me.

Malcolm X

I know that I can beat anybody in the world.

Josh Barnett

I really try to ask myself the question of nine. Will this matter in nine minutes, nine hours, nine days, nine weeks, nine months or nine years? If it will truly matter for all of those, pay attention to it.
