 However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.
  Henry David Thoreau

 I always wondered why I didn't do it longer, ... What happened? I know what happened. It seems like I was way too young to give up on it. I didn't give up on it; I had an opportunity to do TV. I don't think you ever sit back and think, 'Damn, I was good.' Because I wasn't that good. People beat me every day. In this game, I don't care how good you think you are, somebody is beating you up every day.

 I am excited to have Burt join the Utah volleyball staff. Our team has high goals in the Mountain West Conference and the nation, and the quality of my coaching staff needs to reflect these goals. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Burt's achievements at Utah State over the last five years and his experience, success and expertise at this level were the reasons I pursued him for the position.

 I am honored that the members of this great union have placed their confidence in me. I ran a campaign that offered a simple and straightforward promise: I will fight like hell to get actors their fair share. For working actors the stakes have never been higher. Our employers must understand that we will aggressively protect the interests of working performers --- and we will not yield on residuals.

 I am not able to instruct you. I can only tell that I have chosen wrong. I have passed my time in study without experience; in the attainment of sciences which can, for the most part, be but remotely useful to mankind. I have purchased knowledge at the expense of all the common comforts of life: I have missed the endearing elegance of female friendship, and the happy commerce of domestic tenderness.
  Samuel Johnson

 I believe that the fact that I became the lightning rod for criticism for the organization, with me being out of the picture so to speak, makes things easier in that respect. But I look at the last three years. The last time this franchise had 86 or more-wins three straight years was '78, '79 and '80. We didn't get to the postseason, but I'm walking away with pride in the effort I put into this job.

 I consider this group of trainers our peers in sports medicine, ... because they are on the front line. The are always available, even when they are not working. They've got good hearts and the love doing what they do. That's why this honor was somewhat humbling, and it was a difficult speech for me. These people are all dedicated to athletic health care, and that's what I try to do in my community.

 I decided to run for governor because it is increasingly clear that Arizona is headed in the wrong direction under the current administration, ... No longer can we burden the citizens of Arizona with feel-good programs that produce minimal results. No longer can we spend money on legislation and executive orders that promote future political ambitions and produce nothing for the citizens of Arizona.
  Barry Goldwater

 I don't think we're going to change the technical specifications dramatically, ... There won't be radical changes to the technical specs, and that's a tribute to the specs we have now. The reliability and performance we have is outstanding. Change costs money. Continuity and stability is one of the best things we can provide. Based on that, I don't think we're going to change the specs dramatically.

 I feel that's the mark of a leader. I think his other great skill was his ability to communicate. He understood the way few people do the power of communication. He was the best letter writer I ever came across. And when he had to give a speech, whether it was a long or short one, he pored over every one for hours, going over every word. He worked at it more than any other leader I ever came across.

 I got one e-mail from a gentleman who was in a car accident not long ago who is having very difficult times just walking right now. And he said in watching us play and how hard we play and how we overcame the odds against Michigan State and North Carolina, that he felt that he could overcome anything that he was going to face and that he was going to work to try to be like the George Mason Patriots.

 I have begun in old age to understand just how oddly we are all put together. We are so proud of our autonomy that we seldom if ever realize how generous we are to ourselves, and just how stingy with others. One of the booby traps of freedom—which is bordered on all sides by isolation—is that we think so well of ourselves. I now see that I have helped myself to the best cuts at life’s banquet.
  Saul Bellow

 I know from first-hand discussions I've had with the overwhelming majority of our executive board (which consists of 30 player reps and seven executive officers) along with many more players and key player agents, that there is strong support for our executive committee and for me as the executive director. It was certainly gratifying to hear all the support that I have received from the membership.

 I know James and me are different players, but I know he is going to go in there and he will play fine. James is a talented guy. He is smart. He is one of those rookies that seems a lot wiser and has a lot more wisdom beyond his years. I think in terms of going out there and playing, I think we will be fine at the strong safety position. He is going to go out there and make plays. He is a tough guy.

 I liked our chances, I thought we had a good shot at them. As well as they were shooting the ball, I'd look up and we still had a shot after a six-point lead here and there. It's pretty emotional right now for us. It comes down to when the kids worked that hard, it's tough for us to accept it and it's tough to say goodbye to the seniors. We told the kids we love them and we appreciate their efforts.
