I feel like if you enjoyed the 119 hours that precede the finale of ‘Lost,’ is that whole experience ruined by the fact that you might not agree with everything that we did in the finale?

D.C. fans, I think, are so good. They just come up to me, and they’re so nice and so polite and just, ‘Hey, I hope you have a great career,’ and ‘How are you doing, everything’s good?’ That’s pretty much where they leave it at. – Bryce Harper
The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. – Barbara Kingsolver
