"Science brings men nearer to God."

-- Louis Pasteur

“People ask what my goal is. I don't have a goal.”
“I am from Brooklyn, NY, so we could not have many pets, but I always had at least two dogs.”
“Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.”
“When I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey where I could think for myself, decide for myself, define happiness for myself.”
“I hadn't originally intended to do any reading, what if I did read one book more or one book less, whether I read or not wouldn't make a difference, I would still be waiting to get cremated.”
“We were massive underdogs at the beginning of the competition and I'll put my hands up say and I didn't think we were going to go all the way. But, as you can see, we are never beaten. The manager told us to keep our chins up, to try and score early in the second half and give some respect for the fans. The first goal gave us a bit of belief. The supporters have saved up for weeks and months to come here. I am so happy to lift the cup for the fans.”
“Wars come and wars go but the world does not change: it will always forget an indebtedness which it thinks it expedient not to remember.”
