Brian Eno

When I was at art college, the teachers who helped me were not the ones I agreed with, or the ones who encouraged me, but the ones who took very strong positions. Because if someone does that, you can find your own position in relation to it: what is it that I don't agree with? In the studio I want to articulate a position clearly enough so that other people can use it - or chuck it away if they don't want it.

And yet I am not successful!

It's not that difficult to play well and win titles in a team like Barcelona, but it's in the national side where you see a player's true class. That was the case with figures like Pele, Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane.

Even though the latter two have incredible scoring records for their clubs, they still haven't won anything with Argentina or Portugal respectively.

As his team prepares, a coach's entire being must be concentrated on winning games.

Bob Dylan

Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.
