When I'm running, I'm looking for contact. It's kind of weird. It brings a fire to me. When I get older I'll probably get wise and not do that.

I made a horrendous mistake not apologizing to my wife.

You can be a hero to someone just by being their friend.

I won't call myself a failure. Failure is not getting knocked down. It's not getting up.

Sometimes in life, you will get knocked down.

I was taught that I cannot back down to anything. I was trained never to be scared.

It hurts because I can't go out there and play football, but it hurts more because I have to be a father and explain what happened to my daughter.

Hey diddle diddle, Ray Rice up the middle.

I want to be someone that kids in my community look up to and want to strive to give back when they grow up.

Mom, thank you. Mr. Palmer, my father I never had, thank you for teaching me what it is to be a man.

I just want to thank [my wife] for loving me where I was weak.

I wont cry, it'll be fine. I'll take my last breath. Push it out my chest 'til there's nothing left.

If you can't love me in my rugs, you don't deserve me in my riches

I'm sorry I couldn't carry the ball over the finish line, but, man, I did try.

Some batters, and good ones too, scoff at the whole theory of place hitting, calling it a myth. They are wrong, however.

This morning, for the first time in a long time, the joy again of imagining a knife twisted in my heart.

Shame is the root of all addictions.

Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of. Quick: try to think of a single movie about the horrors of Stalinism. This is not a failure of imagination. This is moral meltdown.

The determining factor of my existence is no longer my past.

Modesty was made for the ugly.

The whole house came up and I came up with it... I was just praying to the Lord to take care of me.
