"If you like your soccer cerebral, and the triumph ultimately to be wrung out of staying power, Milan was the place to be. If you love the uncertainty of teams that cannot defend yet have the courage to attack, attack, attack, then Seville was heaven... The common denominator between the victories of Arsenal and Fenerbache? The strength of mind, the courage to dare in another team's domain, the inner belief that is as much a part of sporting success as the skill a fellow may be born with."

But if you actually quiz the two of them on their attitudes, youâ€™ll find out that what they actually share is similar activities. Weâ€™re friends with the people we do things with, as much as we are with the people we resemble. We donâ€™t seek out friends, in other words. We associate with the people who occupy the same small, physical spaces that we do.”
“I was one of the first people to almost actually vomit over hearing the use of the phrase "family values" and I pride myself on never having fallen for the idea that Barbara Bush was sweet and grandmotherly.
