People who are unable to use their hands skillfully for all kinds of work, will not become good thinkers and will behave awkwardly in life.

Rebecca Solnit

The language of commerce has been engineered to describe the overt purpose of a thing, but cannot encompass fringe benefits or peripheral pleasures. It weighs the obvious against what in its terms are incomprehensible. When I drive from here to there, speed, privacy, control, and safety are easy to claim.

It's exercise, though not so quantifiably as on a treadmill in a gym with a digital readout.

Carl Peterson

I need to know what we think we might be able to get with our draft choices -- particularly our first-day draft choices. Once I can determine that with my personnel people, then I'll make a decision if it's worth continuing to pursue for a first-day draft choice, which I'm sure is what Matt wants.

Neal Shusterman

How can you do the right thing when you can't figure out what that is? When all you have before you are choices in various shades of wrong?

Neale Donald Walsch

The world is in the condition it is in because of you, and the choices you have made-or failed to make. (Not to decide is to decide.)
