• I'm greedier than anyone. I don't want some half-assed happiness I
  don't need some partial warmth. I want a happiness that goes on forever.
  That's impossible, though! I don't know why it is, but in this world,
  some interference is sure to come. Important things break right away.
  I've been alive for twenty-two years, and I know at least this much. It
  doesn't matter what the thing is, but it will break. That's why, from the
  beginning, it's better not to need anything.

• It bothers me that the average fan, the average sportswriter for that matter, pays so much attention to what's in a box score. A box score does not properly represent the most important thing - team play. It shows some guy scoring 27 points, but it doesn't show that my 27-point man let his guy score 30.

• I'm really not one to brag, but I think my job is one of the most important things someone can do with their life. I mean, it really gives people a chance to live outside their means through someone else's vision. And I think that's something really great that I can give back to the community. Sure I could be a doctor or a lawyer, but do they really help anyone? Sure you can save someone's life, but can you really change it for the better? I'm not saying their jobs aren't important, just not as important as mine.
