"We decided to play the NEC because we were asked to, and because we actually rather like the place: we've always enjoyed doing it before. We don't often get sensible offers to play in the UK, so most years we just play on the mainland, with the occasional exotic detour."

"That is just what life is when it is beautiful and happy - a game! Naturally, one can also do all kinds of other things with it, make a duty of it, or a battleground, or a prison, but that does not make it any prettier."

"Want to play baseball?' she asked. Shane's eyes opened, and he stopped stroking her hair. "What?' "First base,' she said. "You're already there.' "I'm not running the bases.'

"Becoming a man means doing the right thing even though it may be hard or difficult. Boys do what is easiest. A man does what is right, whether easy or not."
Ethics
"I want to remember...Smelling your newness upon this earth. The baby-Jesus smell as Grandma used to put it. Pure. Unsullied. Like the imagined smell in the twirling air of eiderdown feathers spin-floating around the yard on a new spring day."
Life
"Rain with no shoes is just as much fun as rain with big rubber galoshes."
Playfulness
"Kids. They're not tin cans or sheetrock. They're laughing machines. Wind them up and watch them go."
Play
"It's a fool who thinks having a kid is a right, which is the biggest crock of fish heads I've ever heard."
Parenting
"Time. Either you are for it or against it. So be here now. Not later."
Philosophy
"Dream young. Don't settle for old - for to be old is to be superstitious and without curiosity and always questioning your faith. And be ferocious in your dreaming - run like a sun's explosion, and skip across bluing waves, and dance upon tips of swan feathers."
Motivation
"No one OWES you a THING. So don't EXPECT it. You're on your OWN."
Life
"These Moments Cascade Upon One Another"Here at shepherd's dusk, in a valley without echo, I listen for you. With a frayed longing, I hear your shadow voice whispering within me from far away. I grasp at what is left of this husky sun lying golden upon the upper meadows of lodge pole and bear grass. I gather the last remnants of the evening's breeze, so cool and lazy within my arms, feeling it curl up like a small and innocent kitten. And I see that behind a cloak of clouds, dalliance suits the canting moon. Suddenly I do not wish to lose another moment, And I covet all pristine light."
Longing
"Older doesn't always mean wiser. It just means that you've had more time to do the same things over and over again- right, wrong, and different."
