I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports I drop him.

Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.

I am building a fire and everyday I train I add more fuel. At just the right moment I light the match.

We believe in fact that the one act of respect has little force unless matched by the other - in balance with it... The acting out of that dual respect I would name as precisely the source of our power.

Arsenal have won that advantage nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies they won that respect that the opponent has for them.

I feel that my relationship with Kasparov now is much the same as it had been before the match - good. As for his reaction well it can't be nice to lose your title after so long but he was very generous.

Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

His tenacity is unmatched in my opinion. Incredible how someone could have suffered that long and come back out of prison with such a good heart and positive things to say and do.

My biggest problem will be lack of match toughness but I am a positive optimistic person.

My passion for ideas is not matched with a passion for partisan or electoral politics.
