“[Al] Attles said, How many of you want to play in a game where a guy on your team scores one hundred points? Fewer than ten percent of the players raised their hands. ... Attles posed a different question: "Okay, how many of you want to play in a game where a guy on your team YOU score one hundred points? About ninety percent raised a hand."Wait a minute, something is wrong," Attles said. ... Attles zeroed in on the larger point, "The single most important thing that you play for in a team sport - there's only one reason you play - to try to win. You need to do whatever is necessary to win. If you win, that means you ALL share in it.”

“I'm just as aware of the injustices done to the black man as anyone," the Dipper would explain years after. "I just don't believe that you help things by running around, saying how evil Whitey is. I figure I done my share - the restaurants I integrated in Kansas, the busloads of black kids I used to take to summer camp from Harlem, the contributions I make, in my name and money, to various black causes and programs. Just because I don't call a press conference every time I do something like that doesn't mean I am insensitive to the black man's plight.”
