• To exist is to defy all that threatens you. To be a rebel is not to accumulate a library of subversive books or to dream of fantastic conspiracies or of taking to the hills. It is to make yourself your own law. To find in yourself what counts. To make sure that you’re never “cured” of your youth. To prefer to put everyone up against the wall rather than to remain supine. To pillage whatever can be converted to your law, without concern for appearance.

• All your life spent getting ready for the next thing. I climbed a lot of hills now. I crossed a lot of rivers. Crossed the sea even, left everything I knew and came to Styria. But there I was, waiting for me at the docks when I got off the boat, same man, same life. Next valley ain't no different from this one. No better anyway. Reckon I've learned ... just to stick in the place I'm at. Just to be the man I am.

• Like an army defeated
  The snow hath retreated,
  And now doth fare ill
  On the top of the bare hill;
  The Ploughboy is whooping — anon — anon!
  There's joy in the mountains:
  There's life in the fountains;
  Small clouds are sailing,
  Blue sky prevailing;
  The rain is over and gone.

• Once I was coming down a street in Beverly Hills and I saw a Cadillac about a block long, and out of the side window was a wonderfully slinky mink, and an arm, and at the end of the arm a hand in a white suede glove wrinkled around the wrist, and in the hand was a bagel with a bite out of it.

• Rest forever, tired heart.
  The final illusion has perished.
  The one we believed eternal is gone.
  Just like that. Out the door desire
  follows hope. Rest forever.
  Enough throbbing. Nothing deserves your attention
  nor is the earth worth a sigh.
  Bitterness and boredom is life,
  nothing else ever, and the world is mud.
  Quiet now. Despair for the last time.
  Fate gives us dying as a gift.
  Now turn from the hills, the ugly hidden power
  which rules for the common evil
  and the infinite vanity of it all.

  Giacomo Leopardi

• If you don’t have a plan, you will fail, and you can quote me.”  You need a definite plan, it should be written down, and it should dictate, with military precision, the moves that you will be taking.  Napoleon Hill said, “First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality.

• An absolute
  patience.
  Trees stand
  up to their knees in
  fog. The fog
  slowly flows
  uphill.
  White
  cobwebs, the grass
  leaning where deer
  have looked for apples.
  The woods
  from brook to where
  the top of the hill looks
  over the fog, send up
  not one bird.
  So absolute, it is
  no other than
  happiness itself, a breathing
  too quiet to hear.

  Denise Levertov

• Rick Blaine: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have Paris, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night. Ilsa Lund: When I said I would never leave you. . . . Rick Blaine: And you never will. But I got a job to do too. Where I'm going you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now . . . here's looking at you kid.

• Get out well, but not too quickly, move through the field, be comfortable. Strategy-wise, go with your strengths. If you don't have a great finish, you must get away to win. I've always found it effective to make a move just before the crest of a hill. You get away just a little and you're gone before your opponent gets over the top. Also, around a tight bend, take off like holy hell. I've done that a number of times. You should not be flying down the home straight. Most of your efforts should have been put forth earlier.
