“O let me love my love unto myself alone,And know my knowledge to the world unknown,No witness to the vision call,Beholding, unbeheld of all...”

“Ah yet, when all is thought and said,The heart still overrules the head.”

“I lost count of the number of referees who came to me both at Derby and Forest and said, 'I'd just like to express my thanks. I love matches involving your team. We never have any trouble with them.”

“All my life, I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself.”

“O Deus Ego Amo TeOh God, I love Thee mightily,Not only for Thy saving me, Nor yet because who love not TheeMust burn throughout eternity.Thou, Thou, my Jesu, once didst meEmbrace upon the bitter Tree.For me the nails, the soldier's spear, With injury and insult, bear-In pain all pain exceeding,In sweating and in bleeding,Yea, very death, and that for meA sinner all unheeding!O Jesu, should I not love TheeWho thus hast dealt so lovingly-Not hoping some reward to see,Nor lest I my damnation be;But as Thyself hast loved me,So love I now and always Thee,Because my King alone Thou art,Because, O God, mine own Thou art!”

“I train every time I open my mouth”

“My love was alive, not because I was loved, but because I myself loved!”
