I'm able to give a voice to the athletes around the world - use my degree for something other than the power play.

That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.

I'm not playing for lack of options. But this is such a fleeting thing. When I'm done, I'm never, ever going to be able to come back to it. I know Vancouver is my last go.

It feels right. But it's emotional. Saying goodbye to anything you've done that long is hard.

There were no women's players I knew of. I didn't even know women's hockey existed.

I'm getting more towards that point where I'm ready to kind of pass the torch on and see the next generation succeed behind me.

When you look back from your Olympic experience, you never want to question whether you could have done more. The one thing you can control is your off-ice preparation.

I still love hockey. It's just I'm at a different stage of my life and I think I'm just ready to grow in other ways outside of just being a hockey player.

I have enough muscle already. Now I want to use it in more efficient ways.

The more I've done work with the IOC the more I've come to realize I'm really excited about this, the work that I'm doing and the impact that I can have if I'm fully committed to it.

Right now, I'm standing behind the glass, and I guess that's a metaphor for how my life will be going forward.

Tact is an ability to live in the midst of ugliness without getting ugly.

Life will teach or beat you all you need to know. My advice take the compassionate class and peaceful path

We need writers who know the difference between the production of a commodity and the practice of an art.

Of course, I do everything for money.

Art is dedicated echo.

Without God, all of our efforts turn to ashes and our sunrise into the darkest of nights.

The only true gifts are a portion of yourself.

No other single innovation had so much impact on history.

In foreign countries they fear baldness. They are so rich in foreign countries, they can afford to fear all kinds of silly things.

God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.
