Addiction is a brain disease. This is not a moral failing. This is not about bad people who are choosing to continue to use drugs because they lack willpower.

We can't arrest and incarcerate addiction out of people. Not only do I think it's really inhumane, but it's ineffective and it cost us billions upon billions of dollars to keep doing this.

People who know their worth understand the power of their own words.

If he's walking around with the title, whose right and whose wrong? He's awesome. And I'm his protege, so what does that make me? That makes me awesome as well.

A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be.

A man without mirth is like wagon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it turns.

My life goes in four-year cycles. The World Cup is every four years and the Olympics are every four years.

As it was, things went from bad to worse, as they often will when amateurs are involved in an activity that they perform in bad temper – or in a hurry.
