Four quotes

I love finding quotes that, at some point in the past, I found interesting enough to write down.

Here are a few that had been stored on my old computer.

"There is no longer earth-bound purity."  

"If a man asked what was the point of playing football
it would not be much good saying, 
'in order to score goals',
for trying to score goals is the game itself,
not the reason for the game,
and you would really only be saying 
that football was football 
--which is true, but not worth saying."

"She still believed in words so much.  
Farid believed in other things:  
in his knife, in courage and cunning.  
And in friendship." 



"Every time you decide, there is loss, no matter how you decide.  
It's always a question of what you cannot afford to lose."

  1. got sources for these quotes? It is interesting that you have "decide" on the list... it was on your bro's vocab roots today and from to cut down... we talked about how you cut off other choices when you decide...

    1. The first one was one of my freshie students when I was a TA for the engineers' intro to college class. The second, I believe, is CS Lewis, but I'm not positive. The third is from Inkspell, and the last one is from a book called Miracle in the Real World. :)
