    Writers must fortify themselves with pride and egotism as best they can. The process is analogous to using sandbags and loose timbers to protect a house against flood.

It's disappointing to see a family member hurt. I want him to have as big a year as I want to have for myself. But he's a great player and I know that he's going to be fine, so I trust that he's going to be back to 100 percent pretty soon.

I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus
With tigery stripes, and a face on it
Round as the moon, to stare up.

Now they are nothing, they are not even babies.
I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.
They will wonder if I was important.

There has been criticism of me from certain quarters among supporters and I can understand and respect that. It comes with the territory. Perhaps I have taken this club as far as I can and now it is time for the mantle to pass on to someone else.
