Quote by Trevor Downey

“As for Sturridge, he comes across as quite possibly the most likable man to ever wear the Liverbird. The chicken teriyaki enthusiast has been defying expectations and unfounded prejudice since he arrived at the club to a lukewarm fan response. He was a troublemaker, you see. He had a poor attitude and was a he Big Time Charlie, don't you know? The Chelsea guys said so and Jose Mourinho has never been anything other than ethical and sincere, right? Right? "The England front man was quick to disabuse dubious fans of their misguided assumptions. From his first interview he spoke with a candour and earnest enthusiasm that were utterly endearing. His performance on the pitch has been nothing short of remarkable and his prodigious tally of 35 goals in 49 appearances to date is worthy of far more adulation than he has received. Doubtless the dancing striker has suffered by comparison with the frankly unequalled brilliance of a certain now-departed flesh gourmand, but the Birmingham native is worthy of so much more praise and, with time on his side, he has the potential to become the nonpareil of Liverpool's recent strikers.”

“Svako leto krajem avgusta i početkom septembra preko Prinčevskih ostrva preleću jata roda koja stižu sa severozapada, sa Balkana, spuštajući se na jug da tu provedu zimu. I sada sam izlazio u baštu dok su preletala jata roda kao u mom detinjstvu i zadivljen posmatrao odlučno i misteriozno putovanje "hodočasnika", čiji se lepet krila mogao čuti u tišini. Kad sam bio dete, dve nedelje po prolasku jata roda, s tugom bismo se vraćali brodom u Istanbul. Dok bih kod kuće čitao tri meseca stare vesti u novinama okačenim na prozore i požutelim od letnjeg sunca, osećao bih se opčinjen i razmišljao koliko vreme sporo prolazi.”

“El "placer de leer" ha sido la bandera de una campaña necesaria, de una empresa honrada; se trataba de rescatar la lectura de los cotos cerrados y poco aireados en que estaba en-cerrada, aflojándole el corset, soltándole las trenzas, permitiéndole andar sin zapatos, propiciando en cierto modo el represo a una "lectura natural", a la lectura espontánea, a la codicia autónoma del texto. Absolutamente saludable y necesaria ventilación - insisto-, que se insertaba, por supuesto y como sucede siempre, en cambios de actitud más amplios, en muchos gestos nuevos.”
