“There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them work.”
“O Time the fatal wrack of mortal things, That draws oblivion's curtains over kings; Their sumptuous monuments, men know them not, Their names without a record are forgot, Their parts, their ports, their pomps all laid in th' dust Nor wit nor gold, nor buildings scape time's rust; But he whose name is graved in the white stone Shall last and shine when all of these are gone.”

“. . . first in myth, later in reality, passion and violence watered my root soil.”
