“I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.”

To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world.

When I wear the national team shirt, its sole contact with my skin makes it stand on end.

I made mistakes and I paid for them, but the ball is never stained.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

To dare is to lose ones footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.

Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is.
