“The hard part of writing at all is sitting your ass down in a chair and writing it. There's always something better to do, like I've got an interview, sharpening the pencils, trimming the roses.

“Prig and philistine, Ph.D. and C.P.A., despot of English 218c and big shot of the Kiwanis Club-how much, at bottom, they both hate Art, and how hard it is to know which of them hates it the more.” KnowsArtHardBigsHateCultureShotsBottomClubsDespotsPhilistinesBig Shots Author:Louis Kronenberger
“Obviously it's very hard to leave a club that you've supported all your life.

“In England everything is liberalised. Within certain boundaries and rules everybody can do what he likes. Maybe London's society has a different tempo, a different dynamic. London is fast, productive, creative but it is not England. If you want to transfer that to football, you could say: in the four big English clubs and maybe in the one or two behind them there is a top level. Everything that comes after that rather mirrors English society. It's honest, fair and hard, sometimes also fast, but not always so perfect.” IfsWantTwoDifferentSometimesHardBigsCertainCan DoPerfectLevelsBehindsCreativeFourHonestFootballFairsEnglandMirrorsClubsLondonBoundariesLikesManagersSoccerProductiveChairmanTransfersTempoEnglish Society Author:Jens Lehmann
“I'm always trying to be the best, on and off the pitch, is also very important. I've always taken things very seriously, since I was very young, and that's reflected in my career.
