It occurred to me at some point that what really links us to the past is memory, and there's so much we've forgotten.

I personally love books that make me think, so I naturally gravitate toward writing a book like that, one that's going to make someone think and make me think.

We're naturally afraid of a spider - these are memories that are being chemically passed down through your DNA.

Like life, golf can be humbling. However, little good comes from brooding about mistakes we've made. The next shot, in golf or in life, is the big one.

A Wolf eats sheep but now and then; Ten thousands are devour'd by men. An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretend friend is worse.

There are two things you can be certain of: dying and getting the arse as a football coach.
