More From John Milton

Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, god's image; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of god, as it were, in the eye.

Man's destructive hand spares nothing that lives; he kills to feed himself, he kills to clothe himself, he kills to adorn himself, he kills to attack, he kills to defend himself, he kills to instruct himself, he kills to amuse himself, he kills for the sake of killing.

I remember after i dated this white man, nobody said anything but there was a couple of men in my family that joked after that. 'oh yeah, we had a party when y'all broke up. hee hee hee.' and, you know, they laughed, and it was like light and a joke. but, you know, that's real. that was real and they let me know. and, it's almost acceptable within our culture to be prejudiced toward whites because of our history. this country is loaded with racism .

Praie and shifte eche one for him selfe, as he can.euery man for him selfe, and god for us all.

Where are the gods the gods hate us the gods have run away the gods have hidden in holes the gods are dead of the plague they rot and stink too there never were any gods there’s only death

The gods have fled, i know. my sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. i do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. if anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. i believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

Baseball is not a sport you can achieve individually.

As an international sportsman, i am very lucky to be supported by people all over the world, many of who treat me as one of their own, no matter what their nationality, or indeed mine. this is the way sport should be.

For sure, with golf it's not a physically demanding sport like tennis. that's what makes tennis great - you combine both things. it's a very mental sport and at the same time can be dramatically physical. but i do admire the mentality of sport more than the physicality because physical performance is much easier to practice than mental performance.
