Quotes about rafael (15 Quotes)


    The serve is one of my best shots, so I have to make my style of the tennis on the serve and then not to play long rallies like Rafael is doing. So I need to play something different than he's like, and I think I make it today.


    I remember San Rafael had a kicker who was a soccer player who just kicked for them on the weekends so the league must have allowed it and it seems natural in baseball and track. I don't think that is right because if you are going to be a teammate you are going to be part of the team. We stress punctuality and being at all the functions. Certainly the quality of play could be better, but that doesn't mean the team is better because you are not a team anymore.

    Before World War II, I was living a very cloistered existence, as most cartoonists do. The work I was pouring out did not come from any real, personal life experience this was all the residue of the accumulation of Rafael Sabatini, O. Henry, all the short-story writers that I'd been reading.

    She was in fear for her life, ... She had been told many times by Rafael that if she left him that harm would be done to her sister in Guatemala, or once she got to the United States that her mother would be harmed.


    Rafael and Tony are very similar. When you see little backs like them, you think that they can't run the ball inside. But both of these guys do a good job with that, and they can go outside and make plays as well with their speed.


    We are interested in producing theater in places where people are. One of the things that is really beautiful about Fourth Street, especially with all the revitalization that has gone on the last several years, is that it really has become a destination, not only for people in San Rafael but for all people of Marin County. Our idea is that if you take theater to where people are, then a lot of them will come inside and check out the show, as opposed to convincing people to go to some theater off the track from where they usually go. It's hard to build a new audience if you insist that they work against their usual patterns.

    Rafael is a great player. I think with both of us in there that we can really confuse defenses. They're not going to know where the ball is going. That's something that can work fairly well.

    I agree with Rafael about the hunger factor. That's why we see so many great players from Russia. When they are young, they don't have so many options, and it's the best thing to do to play a sport and make a lot of money. If you're not given another option, you go at it 100 percent and devote yourself to it a lot harder than those with many options available.

    I enjoyed his company in the last Uefa coaches' seminar. We sat beside each other on the coach going to the meeting and I think he's a straightforward guy. That's good to see and it does your players good, because they can see the quality of the person in terms of success has not changed him. That is vital in modern day football because the one thing we don't like to see is people change within our own confines. I don't like to see United players change and I'm sure Rafael is the same.

    Palmeiro's agent, Arn Tellem, blamed Major League Baseball officials for Tuesday's leak of the name of the drug. The confidentiality rules that the arbitrator set in this case have been broken by MLB, ... Rafael has respected the rules by not discussing the specifics, but unfortunately MLB has not done the same. What MLB has done is outrageous and it undermines the integrity of their drug testing program. There is another side to this story, and Raffy will tell it soon. I hope that the public will wait to make a final judgment about Rafael until they hear his story in its entirety.


    It looked like Rafael was getting a little upset towards the end of the match noticing that my fans were pretty vocal, ... I'm proud that they never make it personal and they never do anything too negative toward the other player...maybe it helps that it was during the day and they maybe didn't have quite as many Heinekens today. That helps, I think.
