“Maybe this are my glory days, and I'm not even realizing it...”

“Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not ever realizing it because they involve a ball.”

“I look at the field, and I think about the boy who just made the touchdown. I think that these are the glory days for that boy, and this moment will just be another story someday because all the people who make touchdowns and home runs will become somebody's dad. And when his children look at his yearbook photograph, they will think that their dad was rugged and handsome and looked a lot happier than they are. I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.”

“Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.”

“I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.”

“I wanted to laugh. Or maybe get mad. Or maybe shrug at how strange everyone was, especially me.”

“my grandfather always says is "too dry" even if it's soup.”
