“His cold eyes stared at me. At last, he said wearily: "I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people.”
“Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man. The biography of the man himself cannot be written.”
“I have taken part in ceremonies with North American and Mexican shamans, as well as Brazilian ceremonies.”
“I don't trawl record shops anymore. I usually hear music in bars or at friends' houses.”
“I do understand that when someone gives you a [expletive] load of money, you take that money. Someone like Larry Ellison wants to invest into his event and make it the biggest possible, and he gets stopped by the ATP. If you're a start-up, what would make you want to navigate through that and to go through that firing line? How can you step into tennis with any confidence? It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.”
“It's a good community, country music, because we get the chance to sit down and... me and Tim McGraw spend a lot of time. Me and Kenny Chesney had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. It's been a lot of great advice through the years.”
“You look ridiculous,â€ Wren said. â€œWhat?â€ â€œThat shirt.â€ It was a Hello Kitty shirt from eighth or ninth grade. Hello Kitty dressed as a superhero. It said SUPER CAT on the back, and Wren had added an H with fabric paint. The shirt was cropped too short to begin with, and it didnâ€™t really fit anymore. Cath pulled it down self-consciously. â€œCath!â€ her dad shouted from downstairs. â€œPhone.â€ Cath picked up her cell phone and looked at it â€œHe must mean the house phone,â€ Wren said. â€œWho calls the house phone?â€ â€œProbably 2005. I think it wants its shirt back.”
“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.”
