Know Quotes

Quotes by Martin Bashir

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "Know" page?
A mix of sports, career, and social observations — a sharp scouting line about Koufax's weakness at the plate, a reflection on not knowing many people after moving to a new city, a note about a lesser-known Broadway credit, and a football transfer story involving Inter, Liverpool, and Galatasaray.
Are these quotes mostly about sports?
Not exclusively — two touch on sports and competition, but others are about feeling like a stranger in a new city or being underappreciated for past work, like a Broadway role people "don't know" about.
Is there a quote here about surprising choices?
Yes — the line about several clubs wanting a player, with people surprised he chose Galatasaray over Liverpool, captures an unexpected decision well.
How does "Know" differ from <a href="/like-quotes">Like</a> quotes?
"Know" quotes are about information, awareness, and being (or not being) recognized, while "Like" quotes are more about preference and taste.
What if I want something more consistently upbeat?
Good quotes or Always quotes lean more positive, while "Know" quotes here are more observational. For something closer to personal identity, Me quotes is also worth checking.

Others touch on being unknown for past work, or clubs wanting advance knowledge of a player's next career move. See Good Quotes and Me Quotes for related themes.
