My head is in Liverpool and on helping save our season. I am professional and I always fulfil my deals. I haven't considered leaving, although in football that depends on the club.

If football was a drug, I would have died from overdose.

Purpose without virtue is vanity.

I always live in the present. I never dream about what might happen. Why? It might not.

I've always been a sad person. I'm a happy person too, but it's a thing in my brain or my spirit or something, I'm just sad and really acutely aware of mortality and loss.

Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team.

I don't know what to say about myself. I don't know myself (laughs). People say my humility but I believe we're all humble in our own way. I try to stay close to my family and friends.

I know my statistics have not been the same as in other years but I'm fighting to get back to those statistics.

When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important.

Liverpool is a fundamental part of my life. They don't remember me that way, but time will change that. I could not have chosen a better place to go when I left Atletico.

If I score against Liverpool I will not celebrate.

What makes earth feel like hell is our expectation that it should feel like heaven.

When there is no attachment-abhorrence

The superior power of population cannot be checked without producing misery or vice.

The pathways of crime are clearly marked. There's a doublecross on every corner.

The truly liberated human being is not always fighting against something, but more frequently is fighting for something or someone.

Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here - a week, two weeks - you get in the vibe. It's really intoxicating.

I played maybe one and a half games of Little League. The whole atmosphere of anxious parents and more anxious children was just too much for me.

I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.

When another is asked a question, take special care not to interrupt to answer it yourself.

The absurd, with its rupture of rationality-of conventional ways of seeing the world-is in fact an accurate and a productive way of understanding the world.
