“Should a writer have a social purpose? Any honest writer is bound to become a critic of the society he lives in, and sometimes, like Mark Twain or Kurt Vonnegut or Leo Tolstoy or Francois Rabelais, a very harsh critic indeed. The others are sycophants, courtiers, servitors, entertainers. Shakespeare was a sychophant; however, he was and is also a very good poet, and so we continue to read him.”
― Edward Abbey, Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast

“Pro Football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors.”
― Frank Gifford

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
― Mark Twain

“They will always tell you that you can't do what you want to do, but you can do what you want to do. You just have to believe in yourself. The system is to bring you down, but you can rise up.”
― Bob Marley
