“Now that I've won a slam, I know something very few people on earth are permitted to know. A win doesn't feel as good as a loss feels bad, and the good feeling doesn't last long as the bad. Not even close.”
“I learned a long time ago that the honest and just don't always win. Good doesn't always conquer. Sometimes the bad guys win. Sometimes they win for a very long time, because the masses are afraid to challenge them.”
“Sometimes we need to feel bad to know what it's like to feel good...”
“If I do good, I feel good...If I do bad, I feel bad”
“What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by. I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse.”
“Seeing him this close to me brings back every single feeling I've ever felt for this boy... the good and the bad.”
