This is something I dreamed about as a little kid, being back in my hometown (Cincinnati) where I watched so many great players.

Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?

You lose, you smile, and you come back the next day. You win, you smile, you come back the next day.

Reason can never be popular. Passions and feelings may become popular, but reason will always remain the sole property of a few eminent individuals.

There's some people that obviously abuse social networking or whatever, but I think it’s a fantastic idea. I’ve never had any bad encounters with any of it.

What I like about writing is the sense of godlike power it gives you.

Death-counterfeiting sleep.
