Four quotes

I love finding quotes that, at some point in the past, I found interesting enough to write down.

Here are a few that had been stored on my old computer.

"There is no longer earth-bound purity."  

"If a man asked what was the point of playing football

it would not be much good saying, 

'in order to score goals',

for trying to score goals is the game itself,

not the reason for the game,

and you would really only be saying 

that football was football 

--which is true, but not worth saying."

"She still believed in words so much.  

Farid believed in other things:  

in his knife, in courage and cunning.  

And in friendship." 

"Every time you decide, there is loss, no matter how you decide.  

It's always a question of what you cannot afford to lose."
