The Raiders of old were vicious and crazy and cruel. Hanging around their locker room was like hanging around the weight room at Folsom Prison.

Back in Oakland, we have a lot of food in the locker room, but on the road, it’s mostly just fruit. So we have to prepare differently. But really, once you get to the gym, everything on the road is pretty much the same.

I’m crazy, but I’m not too crazy.

In my heart, I am always a Raider.

Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old.

If you’re going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you’re going to be locked up.

No one knows what to say in the loser’s locker room.

I’m devious, cruel, cunning and addictive.

Some may never live, but the crazy never die.

It’s kind of exhilarating, walking through a crazy, insane mob. The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you.

I’m crazy, but I’m not stupid.

Next to the young, I suppose the very old are the most selfish.

We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.

Our admiration of the antique is not admiration of the old, but of the natural.

If we weren’t all crazy, we’d just go insane.

My childhood did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things.

‚Crazy‘ is a term of art; ‚Insane‘ is a term of law. Remember that, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

Both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom: the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come.
