I have to be a father first and a husband first.

It's fool's gold if you are winning games and are not playing the right way.

I'm not apologizing to anybody for anything.

As of right now, I have no desire. I've watched several games and played pickup ball thinking I'd have the feeling I'd like to get back, but I didn't have that feeling. I don't really miss the game.

I'm still doing something I love to do.

I meet a lot of people.

Every science is a mutilated octopus. If its tentacles were not clipped to stumps, it would feel its way into disturbing contacts.

Disease is the abnormal performance of certain functions; the abnormal activity has its causes.

My English text is chaste, and all licentious passages are left in the decent obscurity of a learned language.

Only great pain is, as the teacher of great suspicion, the ultimate liberator of the spirit...I doubt whether such pain improves us-but I do know it deepens us.

Anybody going into boxing already has brain damage.

The only rule I have found to have any validity in writing is not to bore yourself.

I have to listen to New York; I live there. I wasn't born there, but I've been living there all my life.
