“When you're down, remember your triumphs. [...] Sometimes you get in trouble and crash. Other times: just a bumpy landing.”

“[...] I think about the problem with running from your trouble . The problem is in the stopping. The whole time you think you're getting away from everything, the trouble is running like mad, too, trying to catch up with you. And it doesn't slow down when you do--it keeps on sprinting. So when trouble finally reaches you, it hits you hard(p107)”

“Now it's your land. But it's important, at least to me,that you remember that it's not just your land. There is a history. Now you're part of it. Good night. And off they go.”

“You walk around with a negative attitude and you're just naturally going to bring trouble and hard times down on yourself.”

“Boys sometimes don't remember a good thing when they see it. Just remember that you're special.”

“I get so high when you're with me then crash and crave you when you leave”
