“This is the United spirit: you can play everywhere. If you want to win, you have to accept it. You can see Antonio Valencia playing right-back as well. Only because United play like a team. The team is the star, not only one player, thatâ€™s why you can put me and Michael Carrick at centre-back; weâ€™re going to win because itâ€™s the team effort and team spirit. Thatâ€™s why Iâ€™m confident. Iâ€™ve said that from the beginning â€“ in six years playing here â€“ the Man United spiritâ€¦ no one team has got that spirit. This is United. This is why Iâ€™m so proud to play here.”

“After all, there is such a thing as looking like a gentleman. There are men whose class no dirt or rags can hide, any more than they could Ulysses. I have seen such men in plenty among workmen, too; but, on the whole, the gentleman--by whom I do not mean just now the rich--have the superiority in that point. But not, please God, forever. Give us the same air, water, exercise, education, good society, and you will see whether this "haggardness," this "coarseness" (etc., for the list is too long to specify), be an accident, or a property, of the man of the people.”
“Do not put all your eggs in one basket.”
“As Hegel put it, only when it is dark does the owl of Minerva begin its flight. Only in extinction is the collector comprehend.”
“The fundamental belief in the authenticity of photographs explains why photographs of people no longer living and of vanished architecture are so melancholy.”
