“When there's a person, there's a problem. When there's no person, there's no problem.”

“The keys to life are running and reading. When you're running, there's a little person that talks to you and says, "Oh I'm tired. My lung's about to pop. I'm so hurt. There's no way I can possibly continue." You want to quit. If you learn how to defeat that person when you're running. You will how to not quit when things get hard in your life. For reading: there have been gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There's no new problem you could have--with your parents, with school, with a bully. There's no new problem that someone hasn't already had and written about it in a book.”

“There's no solution to life, there's going to be problems no matter what.”

“Just like when there's a time that a smart person knows enough is enough, there's a time when you know you've got to fight.”

“As long as there's one person to believe it, there's no story that can't be true.”

“...[Mystery] delivered one of the many great aphorisms that that he used to turn defeat into triumph. "Where there's a problem, there's an opportunity.”
