I am wary of the whole dreary deadening structured mess that we have built into such a glittering top-heavy structure that there is nothing left to see but the glitter, and the brute routines of maintaining it.

The nearer persons come to each other, the greater is the room and the more are the occasions for courtesy; but just in proportion to their approach the gentleness of most men diminishes.

It’s a hard thing to leave any deeply routine life, even if you hate it.

Society does not consist of individuals, but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.

We're going to have to really execute defensively and make the routine plays to get outs. We're just trying to put our guys in the right position. Right now we've had a lot of changes in the infield, and now with injuries we have even more changes.

Everybody out there, don't ever take anybody for granted, 'cause you never know when you might lose them and you may never get the chance to tell them how you really feel.
