Perfection doesn't exist.

Some people like you, some people don't. In the end you just have to be yourself.

If you win without sacrifice you enjoy it but it's more satisfying when you have struggled.

I like to watch soccer, no matter what teams or players are in the field.

La Masia is a place where lots of people live together but you are on your own.
