Quoted in the Grove:
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball… The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I’ve got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can
~Babe Ruth
Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.
~Babe Ruth
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run
~Babe Ruth

~Greymane: Distance
It was her eyes that I saw first
They made me tremble with surprise
The way she walked in that long sweater
and the smile in her eyes
She was beauty unrehearsed
She became my new obsession, a destination unforeseen
and all the chaos you imagine that implies
Spending days believing it was us against the rest
making promises romantic and obscene
She captured every moment, and I gave her all my best
with torrid nights of exploration in between
We dreamed a life together where the struggles keep you warm
where all the hidden cold confessions live
The years had formed a cozy rusty shelter from the storm
where time reveals scars we can’t forgive
I loved her deep and endless ’til the day she broke my heart
and then I think I loved her even more
I wish that I had chosen the path that kept her in my arms
A place the distance and the darkness both ignore
