"Great times are great softeners"

-- Ryan Holiday

“Long after Salinger sent me away, I continued to believe his standards and expectations were the best ones.”
“I really believe that's one of the many reasons that God had put me right in the middle of the Backstreet Boys. There are so many stars today that don't realize the impact they have on young people. Being a superstar is great, as long as you can be a positive role model.”
“There is a way to support the art and to allow and encourage the art to flourish while being critical. In fact, I find in teaching that self-critique is one of the best ways to have your art grow, but if you start tearing yourself down then, it's not going to go anywhere. I feel the same about critics. I feel that's happening all too often.”

“And I don't watch cricket. How can you like a game that requires you to take four days off work to follow a Test?”
“Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be, become one yourself!”
“You know, you've got fans and 99.9 percent of them are great-and .1 percent are jerks.”
“As far as we are concerned, we are ready to leave today, tomorrow, at any time, to join the people of Haiti, to share in their suffering, help rebuild the country, moving from misery to poverty with dignity.”
“It's totally freeing when I stay in tune with scripture. I don't have to worry if I miss a dive. I go into competition and it's like, "Praise God no matter what."”
