“Hey, lighten up ... This is only a game, you know.”
“I thought this was a game,” I remind him. “Not anymore and you know it. Everything else in my life is all fucked up. This is the only thing that’s real.”
“There are rules to everything, even if nobody made them up, even if nobody calls it a game. And if you want things to work out well, it's best to know the rules and only break them if you're playing a different game and following those rules.”
“I've realized that a lot of life is not what you say,see,it's what you don't say.People have to make up their own minds then.It's like a game, and only we know the rules.”
“. . . simplicity in its pure form can lighten up the tough.”
“Lighten up. Brighten up - that's my mantra, and it gets me through the rest of the afternoon.”
