"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world."

"Since philosophy cannot as yet at least, answer our ultimate questions - questions that are a matter of the greatest possible urgency to us, concerning as they do our annihilation or survival - we are tempted to look somewhere else for the answers. ? To spend a lifetime banging one's head against a brick wall is not an attractive prospect. Nor are years of inarticulate bafflement, with level of frustration rising. Speaking for myself, I am not one of those people who are able to deal with the problem by ignoring the questions: it may be a matter of temperament, but for me the apparent unanswerability of the questions sharpens the persistence with which they nag at my mind. Scarcely a day has gone by since my childhood in which I have not thought about them. In fact, the truth is I have lived my life in thrall to them. They seem to me obviously the most important and interesting questions there are, and in my heart of hearts I do not really understand why not everybody sees them as such. And yet at the end of it all I have no solutions. I am as baffled now by the larger metaphysical questions of my existence as I was when I was a child - indeed more so, because my understanding of the depths and difficulties of the questions themselves is now so much greater."

"To reveal one's self to another is to lay bare weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and to do so on Fayette Street is to violate the rules of the corner."

"... I can't remember what I told you the last time and I don't want to get caught lyin', ... Keep askin' me the same damn questions an' I can't recall my answers."

"A good teacher or coach must not only understand others, but understand himself or herself as well."

"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."

"Intellectually, he's trapped. He was born trapped. I don't ever want to be trapped the way he is trapped."

"... I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see."

"You're not asking for the missing thirty percent because you think that's the best I can do."

"He tells us what is important and why. No master ever told us why before. If you asked you'd be hit on the head."

"You see that rock? It's 3.6 billion years old. We're all just passing through."

"... specialization is for insects."

"... the astonishing amount of self-deceptive harm we do by believing (against all the evidence of psychology and behavior) that we ever have truly "selfless" motives."

"That is, boasting or self-importance is suppressed because it behaves like noise tending to corrupt the vital signals from experiments in creative and cooperative behavior."

"I have always felt that the action most worth watching is not at the center of things but where the edges meet. I like shorelines, weather fronts, international borders. There are interesting frictions and incongruities in these places, and often, if you stand at the point of tangency, you can see both sides better than if you were in the middle of either one."

"I am the chameleon animal. You can place me anyplace, and I will survive, but I will not belong. I must tell you that I do not really belong anywhere."

"Our pasts are nonexistent, our futures but a distant fear. Our anger and our hatred, our failure and our shame, our regret and our horror and the humiliation we all live with has been forgotten."

"I hear a song that doesn't come from notes on a page but from a beating human heart. I hear sorrow and shame and hope and redemption. I hear a past that doesn't matter and the future that never comes. I hear harmony and simplicity and patience, I hear discipline and compassion. I hear it all now."

"You scared? I was earlier, but I'm not now. ? What were you scared of? Everything. And what happened? I decided not to be."

"Ninety-six was a lot of fun, ... because we were underdogs the whole time."

Success is obtained by earning the respect of people that know you well.

Discord is approximate harmony that evolves into satisfying melody only when passionate efforts accompany an obsessive attention to detail.
