“Use some reverence. Remember what he was only a minute ago. You wouldn't have dared laid a hand on him.”

“He would have liked to know that somebody wanted to keep him alive, that someone remembered him. He used to say that we exist as long as somebody remembers us.”

“I was at the airport a while back and some guy said "Hey man, I saw you on TV last night." But he did not say whether or not he thought I was good, he was just confirming that he saw me on television. So I turned my head away for about a minute, and looked back at him and said "Dude! I saw you at the airport… About a minute ago… And you were good."”

“In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?”

“Everything is possible to him who wills only what is true! Rest in Nature, study, know, then dare; dare to will, dare to act and be silent!”

“You were transparent a minute ago!”

“What matters is how I use what I know, every minute of every day; how I use it to remember, in the midst of the game.”

“It was really true, there was no longer anything about him that could interest me. He wasn't even a fragment of the past, he was only a stain, like the print of a hand left years ago on a wall.”

“I wouldn't have missed a single minute of it, Not for the whole world.”

“Now remember this, when a man sticks his hand out to you, you shake it. Then kick him really hard when he's not looking.”
