You just can’t beat the person who never gives up.
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself – the invisible battles inside all of us – that’s where it’s at.
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
In fact, in a football match, everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team.[En fait, dans un match de football, tout se complique du fait de la présence de l’équipe adverse.]
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
