"In the field of innovation & tech, technology is the canvas where human imagination meets the logic of physical reality."

"We do not build machines to replace our thoughts, but to expand the boundaries of what we can dream. As a influential author, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The future is compiled from the small lines of code we write today in search of harmony."

"In the field of creativity & art, to create is to take a leap of faith into the quiet canvas of your own imagination."

"Art is the expression of our deepest questions, painted in colors that words cannot reach. As a scientist & scholar, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"Every act of creation begins with a willing heart and the courage to make a mistake."

"In the field of resilience & focus, we are not defined by the weight of our struggles, but by the strength we find when we rise."

"Like a lighthouse in the storm, your inner resolve must remain steady and bright. As a historical figure, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The hardest trials do not consume the gold; they refine the spirit and clear the path ahead."

"Maybe its a case of one guitar feeling a certain way to the hands that makes one subsequently move differently over the strings, but my intent is always to wring the maximum emotional resonance out of the object in hand."

"I actually spend very little time listening to any new music."

"I don't think so, in so far as I always aspired to play the way I do now but just couldn't get the sounds out always due to technical limitations - now I can pretty much play what I hear in realtime."

"I have no doubt that there are great people about though... the thing of it is, nothing to this day moves me like classical music (Debussy, Vaughn Williams)."

"I have to plead basic ignorance of most new jazz artists here."

"The ability and desire to transform the mundane materials at hand that we both bring into the collaboration well beyond the sum total of the parts - to birth a new baby neither of us could claim single parentage of."

"To make the bloody thing talk the way I do when I'm on a verbal roll, in my idioms and rhythms."

"While I shared many of the same emotions Bill describes, in no way did my experience ever degenerate into the grimness I find in his book - I didn't have to live with Don, and I think that made a big big difference."

"How can you make the people change? How can you reach them in their heart? I do not have the answers for this."

"It takes time and experience to make a person."

"Senegal is a great football country."

"In Naples, each time I go out people want to take my photo or ask for autographs."

"No matter where you come from, everything comes through work."

"If you work, you always get your reward in the end."

"I had the French culture at school and I love this culture but I also had another culture at home - that of Senegal. I think this way of growing up has made me the person I am today - because I had the two cultures."

"I try to give 110 per cent to these fans, as they give me so much love and I want to repay them. I throw myself into the challenge for them, as I want to take the Napoli colours to the top, so it fills my heart when they cheer for me."

"The game In England could be suitable for me but I like Italy."

"Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, you just have to know how to match up against a player."

"I do not need the transfer window or anything to improve myself."

"Since I'm a professional, every day I try to become a better player."

"Here I am very well, the city and the team give me everything, I want to give back to the Neapolitans, I want to give them the Scudetto."
