“It's when you don't need something that you tend to lose it.”

“You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”

“Sometimes you should have something you don't need but that you want.”

“If you reveal everything, bare every feeling, ask for understanding, you lose something crucial to your sense of yourself. You need to know things that others don't know. It's what no one knows about you that allows you to know yourself.”

“I know it's important to do more than just complain when there's something you don't like. You need to try to do something about it, or you're nothing but a whiner.”

“You don't always need proof to know something.”

“[G]overnments always need enemies, even when they're not at war. If you don't have a real enemy, you make one up and spread the word. It scares the population, and when the people are scared, they tend not to step out of line.”

“Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.”

“They had no game plan for losing.... Because when you can't win a game, you need to run the clock, don't let it stop, don't throw passes incomplete... get the game over with, get on the bus and go home.”

“Sometimes your place is not something you find, but something you have when you need it.”
