3 Quotes

Troy Maxson - "Death ain't nothing but a fastball on the outside corner." I think troy is say that he is not afriad of dyning or that death isn't important because he compare death to something that he saw almost every day a fastball.

Lyons/Troy - "You got to take the crookeds with the straights." I think that he repeated his father quote becasue he saw that not every thing workout in life and that you should be happy with what you you have.

Rose - "You can't visit the sins of the father upon the child." I think she said this because she believe that the baby should not be blame for what the father, Troy did.
