I have long understood that losing always comes with the territory when you wander into the gambling business, just as getting crippled for life is an acceptable risk in the linebacker business. They both are extremely violent sports, and pain is part of the bargain. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

There is not much mental distance between a feeling of having been screwed and the ethic of total retaliation, or at least the kind of random revenge that comes with outraging the public decency.

Words are such a poor medium when you really want someone to feel something.

At the top of the mountain we are all snow leopards.

All energy flows according to the whims of the great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him.

You can't miss what you never had.
