“…aaaaahhhh…excuse me for being excited…I think I just saw a ghost…a flash of 1960 Di Stéfano or Puskás…that goal has just woken the spirit of Bernabéu himself…astonishing and mesmerizing skill and grace…”

“I pictured a rainbow
you held it in your hands
I had flashes
but you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon.”

Mike Scott (1958) songwriter, musician

“Always when I look at anyone's art, I get flashes of the person. If I walk into a room and there's a painting by Joan Mitchell, I say, "There's Joannie." Or Grace, if it's Grace Hartigan. And to me all art is self-portraits.”

“Nothing has astonished me more (and I think my publishers) than the welcome given to The Lord of the Rings.”

But it is, of course, a constant source of consolation and pleasure to me. And, I may say, a piece of singular good fortune, much envied by some of my contemporaries. Wonderful people still buy the book, and to a man 'retired' that is both grateful and comforting.
