• You may wonder, 'How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it?
  How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?
  The answer lies in the return.
  You will not come back to the 'same old thing.
  What you return to has changed because you have changed.
  Your perceptions will be altered.
  You will not incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind.
  The river has been flowing while you were gone.
  Now it does not look like the same river.

• Alone with our madness and favorite flower
  We see that there really is nothing left to write about.
  Or rather, it is necessary to write about the same old things
  In the same way, repeating the same things over and over
  For love to continue and be gradually different.

• Repentance is a realization that what God wants from you and what you want from God are not going to be achieved by doing the same old things, thinking the same old thoughts. Repentance is a decision to follow Jesus Christ and become his pilgrim in the path of peace. Repentance is the most practical of all words and the most practical of all acts. It is a feet-on-the-ground-kind-of-word. It puts a person in touch with the reality that God creates.

• What I have learned about corporate capitalism, roughly, is that it is an act of theft, by and large, through which a very few live very high off the work, invention, and creativity of very many others. It is the Grand Larceny of our particular time in history, the Grand Larceny in which a future of freedom which could have followed the collapse of feudalism was stolen from under our noses by a new bunch of bosses doing the same old things

• Nothing is going to stay the same; nothing's gonna sound like in 1952. There's some stuff that has some elements of back in the day, like back in the 90's, back in the 80's or whatever. Some elements, but it's not going to be the same, exactly, sounding. And I love it, I've seen the music change. I've seen the flow and the energy go from turned up to turned down to back to turned up. I like to try different stuff. I don't like to do the same old thing over and over again. I don't like to be repetitive, that gets on my nerves.

• In the complete overall history of tennis, I figure I'll be worth a sentence or two....
