Isn't it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup can become your worst enemies afterwards? The thoughts you loved to think about, the memories you wanted to hold up to the light and view from every angle-it suddenly seems a lot safer to lock them in a box, far from the light of day and throw away the key. It's not an act of bitterness. It's an act if self-preservation. It's not always a bad idea to stay behind the window and look out at life instead, is it?

That was a real killer. That broke our back. If we get that rebound and come down and score, it's a two-point game and it's anybody's game. But they get a lucky break and go six up, and with a team like that which can control the ball, that's a killer.

That's the main thing. With that experience of watching all the players, you kind of get a feeling for who's open, why they're open, getting the same chances a couple of times and you start to understand a breakdown here-and-there. You're just anticipating and trying to read what is going on. Sometimes you're wrong and sometimes you're right.

That's a weakness for us right now, really. The thing I told my team right after the game was the two things we've got to be relentless on are rebounding and free throws. ... It's seems like every time we play, we're giving up second-chance points ... and those things break your back.

[Marla, Shar and I] all have had very public breakups, so I think people know they can relate with us in one way or another.

Like when we were sitting around the table talking with the divorced people, the cameras were way back. And we just listened. Sometimes people just need an ear.

Cindy Sheehan

It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison.
