Seeing the Elephant Quotes

“it’s important for fathers and sons to go to baseball games. It’s the American way of male bonding.”
― Les Roberts, Seeing the Elephant

“First let me define for you what a friend is. A friend is the one you call when your car breaks down on the Calumet Expressway at three o’clock in the morning and you don’t have your checkbook with you and your credit cards are over their limit. A friend accepts you unconditionally, whether or not your politics, your religion, your lifestyle, or the baseball team you root for happen to be the same as his. A friend gives as much as he takes and then some, loves you for who and what you are and not for how much you have in the bank Of what you can do for him. Someone you can laugh with and cry with. Someone you can trust with your life, your kids, your wallet or your secrets.”
