"I don’t think I would mind it much now, the dying. I know it would be a lot easier. Only I think that it’s a sin to sit down and let your life go without making a try for it."

"There was one night when I was just ready to (give up), you know? Then I finally realized that, I said to my wife, I said there’s this big closed door and I’m just gonna wait outside the door. I’m like a dog that’s just gonna wait outside the door. And if that door opens even a crack, I’m gonna be through there so fast they won’t be able to close it before I’m through. I’m gonna wait there. If I leave, if I quit, the door’s gonna open and I’m not gonna be there. So, I’m just gonna wait it out. And I know they gotta open the door sooner or later for supplies or something."

“It does not count if you believe in yourself when it’s easy to believe in yourself. It does not count if you believe the world can be a better place when the future looks bright. It does not count if you think you’re going to make it when the finish line is right in front of you. It counts when it’s hard to believe in yourself, when it looks like the world’s going to end and you’ve still got a long way to go. That’s when it counts. That’s when it matters the most.”

Sharing with you something a dear friend shared with me a few weeks back.

If there is anything I am learning as of recent, it’s this. That true confidence is in spite of evidence, that real hope is in spite of circumstances.

May the rest of this day be great, folks!

"Superladies? They’re always trying to tell you their secret identity… think it’ll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I say, “Girl, I don’t wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you’re, uh… S-Super, Mega, Ultra Lightning Babe, that’s alright with me. I’m good… I’m good."

“In the third quarter I hit Sessions for an open shot , Blake for an open shot, Matt Barnes for an open shot … pretty much on successive possessions. And they missed all three of them. And uh, I think George (Karl) being as observant as he is, saw I was pissed and didn’t think I was going to trust them at the end of the game to knock down those shots. But you know, they stepped up and knocked them down.”
