I know my life is nearing its end and I accept that.

Coaching the Bruins is like going bear hunting with a butter knife.

Toronto was a great place to work, a fun place to work. People were so hockey-oriented, hockey-minded, without being too critical. In Montreal, they got downright nasty sometimes.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I am happy to the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be spearhead new hope in the shape of the National Front.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.
