“When I was born I became the visible corner of a folded map. The map has more than one route. More than one destination. The map that is the unfolding self is not exactly leading anywhere. The arrow that says YOU ARE HERE is your first coordinate. There is a lot that you can't change when you are a kid. But you can pack for the journey...”
“How does a kid from Coos Bay, with one leg longer than the other win races?”
“I want to be a cool mom.”
“We expect to receive again our own bodies, though they be dead and cast into the earth, for we maintain that with God nothing is impossible.”

“Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.”
“I find that it's the simple things that remind you of family around the holidays.”
“In tennis, at the end of the day you're a winner or a loser. You know exactly where you stand.... I don't need that anymore. I don't need my happiness, my well-being, to be based on winning and losing.”
“I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Man, you really like Tide..”
