“It did not seem (and please destroy this letter after you have read it) that someone so clownish could disrupt something so noble and time-tested and seemingly strong, something that had been with us literally every day of our lives.

― George Saunders, Liberation Day

“Give your best. Practice hard and take pride in your fitness. Never give in during a match as this spoils the game for your opponents and your teammates. Keep a sense of proportion. Remember it is only a game and not a war.”
― Siya Kolisi, Rise: The Brand New Autobiography
