People have always found me challenging - I don't know why, when I am only being myself. I don't understand why they find me so annoying but they do. It is pity, but that is how it is.

Certain gardens are described as retreats when they are really attacks.

The present order is the disorder of the future.

Phil Jackson would fight his own players in practice.
