My most memorable moment came in 1985 as we beat the Boston Celtics.

I have just returned from Boston. It is the only thing to do if you find yourself up there.

I don't believe a manager ever won a pennant. Casey Stengel won all those pennants with the Yankees. How many did he win with the Boston Braves and Mets?

A Boston man is the east wind made flesh.

A few years ago no hotel or restaurant in Boston refused Negro guests; now several hotels, restaurants, and especially confectionary stores, will not serve Negroes, even the best of them.

I first saw the light in the city of Boston in the year 1857.

We did experiments with the Boston Symphony for many years where we measured the angles of incidence of sound arriving at the ears of the audience, then took the measurements back to MIT and analyzed them.

Boston's freeway system is insane. It was clearly designed by a person who had spent his childhood crashing toy trains.

I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.

I felt like my pregnancy was a sacred moment for me. I stayed in Boston and I didn't work apart from the contracts I have, and then I only let them use my face.

About 25 years ago, I started out as a reporter covering politics. And that sort of just evolved into organized crime, because organized crime and politics were the same thing in Boston.

At a Boston signing, someone from the audience asked why I was so obsessed with furniture in my books. The question rattled around in my head. I had no idea that I was obsessed with furniture.

I guarantee you, if you could give me 10 points in all those seventh games against the Boston Celtics, instead of Bill Russell having 11 rings, I could've at least had nine or eight.

I guess God made Boston on a wet Sunday.

There isn't much discussion of ruling class in America even in Boston, probably one of the most class-conscious cities in the country?

If Ted Williams just tip his cap once he could be elected Mayor of Boston in five minutes.

I fell in love with Boston, so hopefully, I'll be here for a long time.
