Quotes by Bernard De Koven

But, look, friends, quitting has nothing at all to do with character unless we make a rule that it does. And who would want to make that kind of rule? It would ruin our chances to play freely. We’d never be sure that this was the game that everybody wanted to play if everybody had to stay in the game, if no one could quit.

– Bernard De Koven

– Bernard De Koven

Once winning becomes the only goal, everything else gets lost.
