More From Jane Smiley

If you cheat yourself in practice, you'll cheat yourself in a game; and if you cheat in a game, you'll cheat yourself for the rest of your life.
Practice Games Rest Of Your Life
My father always said 'there's no free lunch.' my father was right. there's no free lunch and there's no free market. the market is rigged, the market is always rigged, and the rigging is in favour of the people who run the market. that's what the market is. it's a bent casino. the house always wins.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. but if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. if you must steal, steal away from bad company. if you must cheat, cheat death. and if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

You figure they cheat at the ballpark, they'll cheat on the golf course, they'll cheat in business, and anything else in life. players may laugh about it and say it's funny, but right down in their heart, they don't think it's funny at all, and they have no respect for a person who cheats.

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.
Powerful Past Rights
If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

There's nothing in the world more silent than the telephone the morning after everybody pans your play. it won't ring from room service; your mother won't be calling you. if the phone has not rung by 8 in the morning, you're dead.
