"It's less about the physical training, in the end, than it is about the mental preparation: boxing is a chess game. You have to be skilled enough and have trained hard enough to know how many different ways you can counterattack in any situation, at any moment."

"I lost my edge for boxing, I didn't put as much into it as I did before. I didn't run as far. I didn't train as hard. I didn't eat correctly. I started drinking a little bit every now and then."

"Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Love commingled with hate is more powerful than love. Or hate."

Love

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates

Nothing

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Where we come from in America no longer signifies. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are."

Change

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Still, I am angry with him. I am very angry with him. With my poor dead defenseless husband, I am furious as I was rarely-perhaps never-furious with him, in life. How can I forgive you, you've ruined both our lives."

Emotion

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Obviously the imagination is fueled by emotions beyond the control of the conscious mind."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"I feel very transparent in myself. I'm more of an observer. I'm interested in what's going on. I'm not sure that I really have a personality. Some people think I do have a personality. I have a personality when I am with certain people - but when I'm not with them I don't have that personality. I just sort of go back to resembling a transparent glass of water."

Self

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"A wet autumn morning, a garbage truck clattering down the street. The first snowfall of the season, blossom sized flakes falling languidly and melting on teh ground, a premature snow fall delicate as lace, rapidly melting."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"It is utterly naive, futile, uninformed-to think that our species is exceptional. So designated to master the beasts of the Earth, as in the Book of Genesis!"

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"The coolly calibrated manipulation of the credulous American public, by an administration bent upon stoking paranoid patriotism!"
