Closer Quotations | Page 4

The problem gets bigger every day, and the tidal wave gets closer every day.

I am saying something about the ineffable. I am saying something about the ultimate mystery. You can understand it, yet you can never understand it totally. It is elusive, it escapes. It is within reach, but it is not within grasp. You are always coming closer and closer to it, but you never arrive. And the day you arrive, then you are no more there; the distinction between the seeker and the sought disappears. Then you are it. That art thou -- then you are it!

Bubba (Stewart) was in front of me and I followed for a lap and a half and then made a clean inside pass on him.

I think it comes down to learning to be patient.

Because we are getting closer to the end of the season, it didn't make sense to take any risks, especially when I had cars around me. We had to think about the championship. When I saw the No. 01 crash in the wall, it made no sense for me to fight with anyone.

I find that as a kid, I could take much more violence, blood, guts, and gore, and you could bring it on and nothing was too shocking for me as a kid or teenager.

With Theo, you always felt like you were on the same level as him.
