If there is a God what the hell is He for?

I am doing what I love to do.

Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

Love isn't lying, it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost, and choking on hello.

I don't think you're human if you don't get nervous.

I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.

I want to be the best. So whatever comes with that, I have to accept it.

I don't think there's ever a time where I step back and say I wish I was something different. I'm doing what I love to do.

I promise to play for the logo on the front, not the name on the back

A gentleman accepts the responsibility for his actions and bears the burden of their consequences.

A mule will labour ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.

Our most treasured family heirloom is our sweet family memories. The past is never dead, it is not even past.

Try to be better than yourself.

If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can.

The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.

Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and memory.

No man can cause more grief than that one clinging blindly to the vices of his ancestors.

The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself

Don't be 'a writer'. Be writing.
