Quotes
I have always been very interested in hospitals, and I just think that they're fascinating places, and the rounds are fascinating places. - Abraham Verghese
It was like a dream come true, to make it to the NFL, and then to make it to the Pro Bowl, and then to make it to the playoffs, and now to make it to the Super Bowl. It's like completing a full circle. - Michael Strahan
It's funny how the circle of life really works. You know, you start off with one dream when you're a kid, and you're like, 'I wanna be a fireman.' And then you don't become a fireman, and then you're like, 'Oh, I wanna be a policeman.' And then you don't become a policeman, and then you end up doing something else, and eventually you come back to where you started, and you're like, 'I just wanna be a fireman again.' - Adam Richman
