You're only England captain for a very short space of time.
I'm in such a privileged position to class football as my full-time job, to be captain of England, captain of Manchester City. I'm very lucky.
I am, a stride at a time. A very short space of time through very short time of space.
Getting the opportunity to captain England is a huge honour - even if it's only the once you can still say 'yeah, I've captained England.'
When you are no longer England captain, you suddenly realise it's over, you are no longer England captain, and you appreciate what you had.
I'm very thrilled and excited to have been given the opportunity to captain England.
I still have ambition to captain England into the 2011 World Cup. I'm very keen to do that job.
It was very difficult to go from relative anonymity to such huge success in such a short space of time.
During my time as England captain I have always been both helpful and direct in my communications with the ECB.
But as Van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: I am because I die.
In space for a short time, I think most people could survive that. If you're sending an average person who's healthy for a short period of time, I think that's quite doable.
I can only thank Manchester City for everything they have done for me. What we have achieved in such a short space of time has been amazing.
Time is said to have only one dimension, and space to have three dimensions. ... The mathematical quaternion partakes of both these elements; in technical language it may be said to be 'time plus space', or 'space plus time': and in this sense it has, or at least involves a reference to, four dimensions. And how the One of Time, of Space the Three, Might in the Chain of Symbols girdled be.
Each organism, no matter how simple or complex, has around it a sacred bubble of space, a bit of mobile territoriality which only a few other organisms are allowed to penetrate and then only for short periods of time.
Cease-fire is important, but it can last only for a very, very, very short time.
We have all kinds of limitations as human beings. I mean we can't see the whole electromagnetic spectrum, we can't see the very small, we can't see the very far. So we compensate for these short comings with technological scaffoldings. The microscope allows us to extend our vision into the microsphere. The telescope allows us to extend our vision into the macrosphere, the Hubble Space Telescope extends our optic nerve into space, and it allows us to mainline space and time through our optic nerve.
It's very cool to be short, very cool. When I was in eighth grade, and the height I am now, I would just look at the cute little short girls and think, 'If only, if only.
