I think if you stare at the numbers for where our team is - we have a very respectable RPI, and it's been respectable all year, we have a very respectable strength of schedule, and it's been respectable all year, two key non-league wins on the road - all the formulas that says why are you even talking bubble?

en A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
  Albert Einstein

Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! En människa är en del av en helhet, som vi kallar Universum, en del begränsad i tid och rum. Han upplever sig själv, sina tankar och känslor, som något åtskilt från resten, en sorts optisk illusion av hans medvetande. Denna illusion är ett slags fängelse för oss, som begränsar oss till våra personliga önskemål och till ömhet för några få personer närmast oss. Vår uppgift måste vara att befria oss från detta fängelse genom att utvidga våra kretsar av medkänsla så att de omfattar alla levande varelser och hela naturen i sin skönhet.

I think it's a very respectable number. I'd like to have a thousand people a day going through there, but it could get a little bit jammed. We don't have a huge space, but it's a respectable size. It is what it is. What I'd really like to see is a higher percentage of our visitors being local and not tourists.

en Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.
