Chris Wilton

• The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.

• You can learn to push the guilt under the rug and go on. Otherwise, it overwhelms you.

• The innocent are sometimes slain to make way for grander schemes. You were collateral damage.

• Sophocles said, that to never have been born may be the greatest boon of all.
