Ravi Shankar Quotes

In India, I have been called a 'destroyer.' But that is only because they mixed my identity as a performer and as a composer.

Folks who blithely disregard the benefits of football likely haven't played or are being intellectually dishonest. The game, perhaps more than any other, requires absolute dedication and teamwork.
