“I feel like human beings can't help but destroy, but if our numbers are small we don't destroy as much as we do when our numbers are this huge and out of control. I wonder, what's the carrying capacity for human beings? When do we get to the point when we can't take it anymore, when it becomes too unpleasant to us just to be here because there's too many of us and there's no solitude anymore.”
“It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.”
“It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.”
“I always come back around. I make it work.”
“Make us happy and you make us good.”
“The heart sags. My footprints forget me. I donâ€™t think anything will ever be the same. This is the edge of the cliff and you canâ€™t move, canâ€™t jump. Everything is vertical. With binoculars you can see where youâ€™ll be in an hour. Raindrops collect on the lens. A fine mist. It hides us. It drifts into clocks. Gravity presses your hands. Some hurts never get said. Some get smuggled.”
