“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game
begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms
in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as
the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.”
– Bart Giamatti

“The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don't even have to think about it.”
– Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant

“But there's one thing about quitters you have to guard against – they are contagious. If one boy goes, the chances are he'll take somebody with him, and you don't want that. So when they would start acting that way, I used to pack them up and get them out, or embarrass them, or do something to turn them around.”
