Some people ask who they are and expect their feelings to tell them. but feelings are flickering flames that fade after every fitful stimulus. some people ask who they are and expect their achievements to tell them. but the things we accomplish always leave a core of character unrevealed. some people ask who they are and expect visions of their ideal self to tell them. but our visions can only tell us what we want to be, not what we are

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.

Unconditional love. that’s what he wants to give her and what he wants from her. people should give without wanting anything in return. all other giving is selfish. but he is being selfish a little, isn’t he, by wanting her to love him in return? he hopes that she loves him in return. is it possible for a person to love without wanting love back? is anything so pure? or is love, by its nature, a reciprocity, like oceans and clouds, an evaporating of seawater and a replenishing of rain?

In the ancient world individuals have sold themselves as slaves, in order to eat. so in society. here is a witch-doctor who can save us from the sorcerers - a war-lord who can save us from the barbarians - a church that can save us from hell. give them what they ask, give ourselves to them bound and blindfold, if only they will! perhaps the terrible bargain will be made again. we cannot blame men for making it. we can hardly wish them not to. yet we can hardly bear that they should.

Ask anyone in america where the craziest people live and they'll tell you california. ask anyone in california where the craziest people live and they'll say los angeles. ask anyone in los angeles where the craziest people live and they'll tell you hollywood. ask anyone in hollywood where the craziest people live and they'll say laurel canyon. and ask anyone in laurel canyon where the craziest people live and they'll say lookout mountain. so i bought a house on lookout mountain.

Ask me to play. i'll play. ask me to shoot. i'll shoot. ask me to pass. i'll pass. ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate. anything. but it's not what you ask of me. it's what i ask of myself.

There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. the funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. one thing i believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.

I'm just going to play whatever game is in front of me.

When you win, sometimes it overshadows a poor performance.
