And that's what i don't like about magic, captain. 'cos it's *magic*. you can't ask questions, it's magic. it doesn't explain anything, it's magic. you don't know where it comes from, it's magic! that's what i don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!

Pirate Swim Clerks
When i was 17, i made the decision to have a good attitude. i was a junior in high school; the coach said i was going to be the captain of my basketball team. i thought – that surprised me because i wasn’t the best player. john thomas was better than me, and i was probably second or third best player. and i kept thinking, “why am i going to be the captain?” i think everybody else was thinking that too. and the coach then answered, “the reason john is going to be the captain is he has the best attitude on the team. he encourages others, he believes we can win, he never gives up.”
Basketball Attitude Giving Up
Pirate dreams needles and pins, needles and pins, sew me a sail to catch me the wind. sew me a sail strong as the gale, carpenter, bring out your hammers and nails. hammers and nails, hammers and nails, build me a boat to go chasing the whales. chasing the whales, sailing the blue find me a captain and sign me a crew. captain and crew, captain and crew, take me, oh take me to anywhere new.

I am the captain of the pinafore ; and a right good captain too! . . . . and i'm never, never sick at sea! what, never? no, never! what never? hardly ever! he's hardly ever sick at sea! then give three cheers, and one cheer more, for the hardy captain of the pinafore!
Cheer Sea Sick
We ask ourselves all kinds of questions, such as why does a peacock have such beautiful feathers, and we may answer that he needs the feathers to impress a female peacock, but then we ask ourselves, and why is there a peacock? and then we ask, why is there anything living? and then we ask, why is there anything at all? and if you tell some advocate of scientism that the answer is a secret, he will go white hot and write a book. but it is a secret. and the experience of living with the secret and thinking about it is in itself a kind of faith.
Beautiful Book Writing
Whenever i'm giving talks, i always ask people to think of the most obscure questions because i enjoy those the most. i always get the same questions: why does pickwick say "plock" and will there be a movie? i like the really obscure questions because there's so much in the books. there are tons and tons of references and i like when people get the little ones and ask me about them. it's good for the audience [and also] they realize there's more there.

Some people think that evolutionary psychology claims to have discovered that human nature is selfish and wicked. but they are flattering the researchers and anyone who would claim to have discovered the opposite. no one needs a scientist to measure whether humans are prone to knavery. the question has been answered in the history books, the newspapers, the ethnographic record, and the letters to ann landers. but people treat it like an open question, as if someday science might discover that it's all a bad dream and we will wake up to find that it is human nature to love one another.
