"Between what I think, what I want to say, what I believe I say, what I say, what you want to hear, what you believe to hear, what you hear, what you want to understand, what you think you understand, what you understandâ€¦They are ten possibilities that we might have some problem communicating. But letâ€™s try anywayâ€¦"

-- Bernard Werber

“There are still eight of us,â€ Guy pointed out. â€œNot exactly an even fight.â€ â€œI was thinking the same thing,â€ Mauvin said. â€œSadly, thereâ€™s no one else here we can ask to join your side.â€ Guy looked at Mauvin, then Hadrian, for a long moment as the men glared across the ash at each other. Then he nodded and lowered his blade. â€œWell, I can see Iâ€™ll have to report your misconduct to the archbishop.â€ â€œGo ahead,â€ Hadrian said. â€œHis body is buried with the rest of them just down the hillside.”

“Our goal as a team is to keep playing as a group for as long as we can because you will never have that team again. It is like a dying limb, you have to prune it off and let another one grow in its place. That is the way you have to do it, but it still hurts losing these guys and that team because they and you have put so much effort into building a team. Even if you win that last game (and a national championship), it hurts badly because the players know they will never have that same special group of guys together on the same team again. Somebody always goes and somebody new always comes in.”
“I think that no matter how much you don't like yourself or the drama of your life you can still find some comedy in it.”
