"There's a much bigger world out there...." - Quote by Kobe Bryant

“I'm just so excited. We all are. We've been waiting for this [the gold medal] for years now and it's finally here. This meant so much. It just felt so good.”

“I'm a scorer, not a triple-double player”

“This is an award I couldn't have won on my own. I can't thank these guys enough. These are my guys, these are my brothers.”

“The gentle rain which waters my beans and keeps me in the house today is not drear and melancholy, but good for me too. Though it prevents my hoeing them, it is of far more worth than my hoeing. If it should continue so long as to cause the seeds to rot in the ground and destroy the potatoes in the low lands, it would still be good for the grass on the uplands, and, being good for the grass, would be good for me, too.”

“They say the sky is the same everywhere. Travellers, the shipwrecked, exiles, and the dying draw comfort from the thought.”

“Let him go where he will, he can only find so much beauty or worth as he carries.”

“America is the spirit of human exploration distilled.”

“You can't find the right roads when the streets are paved.”

“Our village life would stagnate if it were not for the unexplored forests and meadows which surround it.”
