I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition. – Paul Dirac

The pro athlete is a sad tale. He signs a big contract and thinks hes set for life. I didnt think I was set for life, and I dont now. As athletes, we are important, celebrities, in demand and rich.
