Count the dreams of your mind; if the numbers of the dreams exceeds the number of achievements, you are young. – Shimon Peres
To be a footballer was just a dream, and I don’t believe in dreams. I only deal in what is real. To be honest, I’ve never thought about what I could get out of football or where it would take me. I just wanted to play. I’m the same now. – Thierry Henry
