If I’d have remembered that one, I’d have really been on my guard, because the afternoon it all started, was a truly beautiful day.” – Thomas Magnum

I mean, while I find a lot of security in the knowledge that paradise and pizza are always there; it’s too easy to get complacent. Pepperoni or sausage? Perfect sunrise or a perfect rainbow? Why not just have all of the above, today? Now, I can deprive myself of pizza for a week and appreciate it again, but paradise… it’s always at my door. And while it can be very pleasant, it can also be very predictable.” – Thomas Magnum

39- “Normally, the chance to make Higgins sweat would have seemed like a lot of fun. Today, it barely raised a smile.” – Thomas Magnum
40- “My dad once told me that life is a trick done with mirrors. You look at something from one direction, it looks like one thing; you turn it over, it looks like something else. I guess he was right. Sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s a real friend, and who’s just an illusion in glass.” – Thomas Magnum

46- “Even in the Hawaiian sunshine, football, to me, smelt like fall in New England. Some place there should be a prep band playing, pretty girls in short skirts, and I was 21 with an arm that could throw passes all afternoon.” – Thomas Magnum
