“A counter-attack can only arise when you make a mistake. That's why there are rules. A horizontal pass? Prohibited. In my line-up there are as many lines as possible. Because you must have the option to pass the ball forward, even if it's a meter. Because then I can still make up for the loss of possession. After a horizontal pass this is impossible.” IfsStillsI CanLinesLossMistakeImpossibleBallsPossessionAriseMeterHorizontalCounter Attack Author:Johan Cruijff

“The Islamists had control over territory that was about half the size of the Federal Republic of Germany. For years, we have been putting the lives of our troops on the line, we have taken huge losses and the Europeans cut the budget? If money is more important than the lives of our children, what else is this than the usual arrogance and superficiality? And where is all this terror coming from? It is a result of mistakes the West committed in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the 1980s, when they armed the Islamic rebels against the Soviet troops.” IfsYearsChildrenHas BeensImportantLinesLossResultsMistakeHalfTakenCuttingHugeOur ChildrenWestSizeTerrorCommittedBudgetsArroganceGermanyIslamicRepublicTerritoryRebelAfghanistanUsualSovietTroopsPakistanOur TroopsSuperficialityIslamists Author:Yoweri Museveni
“It's this amazing combination to play, really, of somebody who's actually very fragile and hasn't really grown up properly yet - at least in a healthy environment - and has suffered immense loss with her dad - like that line where she says, [in the words of her father [King George VI], "Yes, 'Elizabeth is my pride but Margaret's my joy."

“My most persistent memory of stand - up is of my mouth being in the present and my mind being in the future: the mouth speaking the line, the body delivering the gesture, while the mind looks back, observing, analyzing, judging, worrying, and then deciding when and what to say next.
