When people are talking about you, it means that you exist.
Those who hate or disrespect Sir Alex Ferguson , its only because he snatched away their dreams of winning.
Socrates worked towards making people question themselves. He like to provoke self-interrogation but wasn't particularly interested in the answers that emerged; he just like to set off the thought process.
It's my country but I don't want to know about France - I was born there but I feel English.
When I was banned for nine months I had an opportunity to focus on something else and I needed to focus on something else. It's who I am. I admire Miles Davis and Chet Baker a lot and I like this instrument, so I tried and I learned and practised for two months. But I stopped after that.
A good goal is one that is important and beautiful.
You need a particular talent only to want to please. I don't have this talent.
Certainly take the advice of others but always, always be yourself.
The ball is like a woman, she loves to be caressed.
I'm so proud the fans still sing my name, but I fear tomorrow they will stop. I fear it because I love it. And everything you love, you fear you will lose.

An artist in my eyes, is someone who can lighten up a dark room. I have never and will never find difference between the pass from Pele to Carlos Alberto in the final of the World Cup in 1970 and the poetry of the young Rimbaud, who stretches cords from steeple to steeple and garlands from window to window. There is in each of these human manifestations an expression of beauty which touches us and gives us a feeling of eternity.
