“The naked pinch hitter takes only one thing to the plate: his raw, and somewhat irrational, confidence in himself. That this confidence is so unreasonable adds to its dignity.”
Thomas Boswell, Why Time Begins on Opening Day

Alexis de Tocqueville
“Men are not corrupted by the exercise of power or debased by the habit of obedience, but by the exercise of a power which they believe to be illegal and by obedience to a rule which they consider to be usurped and oppressive.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

Chris  Anderson
“For all the enlightened nations that profess a loyalty to liberty, democracy, economy and all the rest, there has long been a readiness to look for a chosen one; as Carlyle pointed out, even the French, those great anti-venerators, those relentless beheaders of Great Men, worshipped Voltaire.”
Chris Anderson, The Numbers Game: Why Everything You Know About Soccer Is Wrong

Jonathan  Wilson
“Many before have hailed the end of history; none have ever been right.”
Jonathan Wilson, Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics

William L. Shirer
“To some Germans and, no doubt, to most foreigners it appeared that a charlatan had come to power in Berlin. To the majority of Germans Hitler had — or would shortly assume — the aura of a truly charismatic leader. They were to follow him blindly, as if he possessed a divine judgment, for the next twelve tempestuous years.”
William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany
