More quotes by Chris Kluwe
Well, if you count my phone as an access point (which I do), I'm pretty much constantly online unless I'm at an event or practice or something.

People, please remember that I choose my words very carefully. Assumptions are your enemy.

I won't feel that I failed. I'll be a little disappointed in the NFL.

Every single human civilization has failed over time, and my belief is that it's due to a lack of rational empathy, of understanding that if you don't have equality in your society, the conflicts you breed (whether internally or externally) will eventually cause its collapse.

One of the main coaching points I've heard throughout my entire life is, 'How you respond to difficult situations defines your character,' and I think it's a good saying. I also think it applies to more than just the players.
