Is it about to collide with a baseball bat? Is it moving at all, or is something on the blind side holding it in place? A single frame didn't mean a thing. Patterns were based on data. With enough datapoints, you could predict just about anything.”

“Disappointment Can do a couple things. It can drop you into a giant sucking sinkhole of depression, a place you have to fight to climb out of. Or it can trigger an epic mania to overcome the odds and transform failure into success.

But if you worry about falling down, and never chance "up," the sky will remain forever out of reach.”
“Families are the Nurseries of all Societies; and the First combinations of mankind.”
