“The poor Geordies are in the process of being rebuffed by every sentient human being whose ambition in life is more than simply to pocket six million quid for having been a failure and run for the hills. They want beautiful, flowing football and tangible success, at St James' Park. Fine. I, meanwhile, want Jessica Alba and the Nobel prize for literature. I make my prospects slightly more realistic.” WantHumansRunningBeautifulLife IsLiteratureProcessHuman BeingsPoorMillionsFootballFineSixAmbitionHillsSoccerAnalysisParksPocketsPrizeRealisticTangibleNobelProspectsNobel PrizeJessicaLife Ambition Author:Rod Liddle
“I don't have very many regrets, not because I lived a perfect life but because life is a bunch of rolling hills, not mountains, or speed bumps instead of stop signs, and so you come to a situation and it's neither good or bad, it just is, and what it means to you is what's your take on it. But the second part of the equation is what are you going to do about it. A lot of times I'm completely wrong, but all you do is back up and start over.” MeanLife IsPerfectSituationRegretMountainSpeedBunchHillsRollingEquationsStarting OverBumpsPerfect LifeRolling HillsSpeed Bumps Author:Bill Russell
