To win is not the most important thing... (Sócrates)
Degas - two dancers in a studio (1875)
To win is not the most important thing, football is an art and should be about showing creativity. If Vincent Van Gogh and Edgar Degas had known the level of recognition they were going to have, they would not have done the same. You have to enjoy doing the art and not think ‘will I win?’

What connection can there have been between many people in the innumerable histories of this world, who, from opposite sides of great gulfs, have, nevertheless, been very curiously brought together! Charles Dickens (in Bleak House )
