Barry Malzberg
David Beckham in his last appearance at Real Madrid City's press room (14/06/07): "I want to wish the captain good luck because he has been a tower of strength for many people and for the team, and he's been a person that a lot of people should look up to because he is very dedicated to what he does and what he believes in. Thank you to him and the rest of the team, and good luck throughout the rest of their careers.

Henry David Thoreau
I am here to plead his cause with you. I plead not for his life, but for his character - his immortal life; and so it becomes your cause wholly, and is not his in the least. Some eighteen hundred years ago Christ was crucified; this morning, perchance, Captain Brown was hung. These are the two ends of a chain which is not without its links.

I do not wish to force my thoughts upon you, but I feel forced myself.

Henry David Thoreau

I can state further, I was twice turned off the ground myself by his men; and they said if I did not go instantly they would carry me off to Worsley.
