“The idea of the state is, or should be, a very limited, prescribed ide...” — Tom Stoppard Quote

“The idea of the state is, or should be, a very limited, prescribed idea. The state looks after the defense of the realm, and other matters - raising revenue to pay for things which are for all of us, and so on. That idea has turned turtle now. The state isn't any longer perceived as an institution which exists to serve us.”

“I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

“Young quarterbacks do well because they have a great defense.”

“I spit a lot naturally on the field. I also lick my hands on defense a lot just to get a grip.”

“I always try to play hard as possible to help my team - it doesn't matter if it's on defense or offense. I would say when I was young I was playing like that, too.”
