[Going to Barca] was a decision I took with my family. They helped me a lot. It's been a dream come true. I'm really happy.

The secret is to believe in your dreams; in your potential that you can be like your star, keep searching, keep believing and don’t lose faith in yourself.

There is no pressure when you are making a dream come true.

I have both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as my idols. If I can take a little of each player's game and make it my own, I would be very happy.

Life only makes sense when our highest ideal is to serve Christ!

I have never been concerned about winning the Ballon d'Or or being the best player in the world. The best player is already here and that's Messi. And now I can see him from close up and help him.

Barca is more than a club and a great team and I want to contribute to Messi staying the best for many years.

This moment,which we are living right now will pass too. We have to enjoy, enjoy all that we can.

Individually, I always want to give the most.

I'm not a spiteful man, never been. I always forgive. The final decision isn't mine, but God's. God knows what He does.

I don't even know who Joey Barton is.

In my schoolboy reveries, we were always two fugitives riding on the spine of a book, eager to escape into worlds of fiction and secondhand dreams.

...purification was the point of such pain.

There is luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has the right to blame us.

Justice is peculiarly indispensable to nations.

I wanted to be a rock star.

... the true seeing is within; and painting stares at you with an insistent imperfection.

I've always gotten along best with artists.

Small towns seem to appreciate things a little bit more. They're less jaded and they're more kind of authentic and more themselves and they don't care as much.

My only solution for the problem of habitual accidents is to stay in bed all day. Even then, there is always the chance that you will fall out.

[I am against] the Treaty of Rome which entrenches laissez faire as its philosophy and chooses bureaucracy as its administrative method.
