“And that's where our conversation went from there, than God, both of us laughing our butts off at the thought of a hoops game between two teams on intravenous fluids. Which makes absolutely no sense at all; I know that. But that's why it cheered me up, because it was so absolutely stupid. It cheered me up more than I'd ever thought I'd be cheered up again.” KnowsTwoGamesLaughingTeamStupidConversationFluid Book:Front and Center Source: Front and Center
“Everyone's scared. So scared they can't sleep sometimes. Or eat. Or keep their weight on." "Then why bother playing?" I asked. It was a whisper, this question. "Because. You love the game. You love the people you play with. You love winning, maybe. You love that one moment when you get it right . . . I dunno. Why do you play?" "Because," I whispered, "it's who I am." Sounds like a good reason to me.” PeopleSometimesReasonPlayMomentsGamesWinningSoundSleepWeightScaredWho I AmBotherCan't SleepWhy BotherLove Winning Author:Catherine Gilbert Murdock
