"I could not become anything:
neither bad nor good,
neither a scoundrel nor an honest man,
neither a hero nor an insect.
And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something."
- Fyodor Dostoevsky, 'Notes From Underground'

"Amidst the many conflicts, animosities, wars, apartheids, and prejudice, Our world, divided by nations, falls silent and becomes coherent every four years.
It comes together at a nexus to witness a beautiful game.
It is a game that has won the attention of all religions, colors, and ethnicities.
It is a game that is not racist.
It does not see wealth or prestige.
It does not see in black and white, but in the beauty of skill and heart.
It is not forced. Instead, it flows.
It allows seemingly inconsequential nations, unheard of before, to be listened to and become known to the world.
It allots each nation time on the world stage to perform their unique talent in front of the greatest of all audiences.
It is a game that unites.
...The world's game.
...A language, unique, but spoken by every person.
It is the beautiful game."

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
