I want to unfold. I don't want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie, and I want my grasp of things to be true. I want to describe myself like a painting that I looked at closely for a long time,
like a saying that I finally understood, like the pitcher I use every day,
like the face of my mother, like a ship that carried me through the wildest storm of all. — Rainer Maria Rilke

Now I'm at Real Madrid, which is considered the biggest ship on the planet. — Jose Mourinho

I have no will, unless it be the will never to decide. I have been so overwhelmed by the many storms that have broken over my head, that I am become passive in the hands of the Almighty, like a sparrow in the talons of an eagle. I live, because it is not ordained for me to die. — Alexandre Dumas

Nothing like a good gale to put a spring in your step." Kade grinned. — Maria V. Snyder
I am a star in the firmament that observe the world, despises the world and consumed in its heat. I am the sea by night in a storm the sea shouting that accumulates new sins and to the ancient makes recompense.

I am the passion without words without stones of the hearth, without weapons in the war, is my same force that make me sick — Hermann Hesse
