I remember playing for coaches who seemed like military-type guys. It always rubbed me the wrong way.

Music and smells are the most memory-recall, nostalgia-inducing things.

Everybody just wants to appreciate time as it's passing, to be in the moment. It's the hardest thing to do. You're either in the unknown future that you're working toward, or you're in the past that becomes a little abstract.

One minute you're starting left fielder, hitting home runs; the next, it's career over. I was 20.

A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in their way.

When governments fail us, what else can people do except take to direct action? When corporate power can so dominate government policy-making that whole communities are placed at risk, where else can people turn?

When the government allocates monopoly rights to frequency, and there are only a handful in each community, it's picking the winners in the competition.

Every good government is made up of good families. The unit of good government is the family, and anything that tends to destroy the family is perfectly devilish and infamous.
