I'm a great believer in the hereafter, in karma, in reincarnation. it does make sense. i believe that god is not just a law-giver, but a creative artist. the greatest of all. and what characterises artists is that they want to redo their work. maybe it didn't come off perfectly, so they want to see it done again, and improved. reincarnation is a way for god to improve his earlier works.

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.
Basketball Pain Motivation
I do not repudiate any of my paintings but there isn't one of them that i would not redo differently, if i had it to redo. my destination is always the same but i work out a different route to get there.
Work Out Different Painting
My position concerning god is that of an agnostic. i am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.
Law Punishment Ideas
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.
Children Simple Law
I suppose you do think about the time that's allotted to you more than when you were younger. the mortality thing obviously has a stronger pull for you. it's an imminent truth; it's not necessarily a bad thing. you realize - much earlier than my age now - that you won't be able to play for england's football team, just to take a really crass example. so you can't have that life again. unless you believe in reincarnation or whatever. reincarnation? that's a whole other question. i find people who talk about that sort of thing in interviews idiotic. and i don't want to go down with them.

Similar Quotes
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.
Soccer Football Team
Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. we didn't even have a football team.
Football Team School
I think professional sports, football, to use it as an example, it's fundamentally a form of entertainment.
Sports Football Thinking
If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one i was wearing, i'd run over her if she was in my way. and i love my mother.
