FAMOUS QUOTES ABOUT PELE
Pelé is the greatest player of all time. He reigned supreme for 20 years. All the others – Diego Maradona, Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini – rank beneath him. There's no one to compare with Pelé. - Franz Beckenbauer
The greatest player in history was Di Stefano. I refuse to classify Pele as a player. He was above that. - Ferenc Puskas
Pelé was one of the few who contradicted my theory: instead of 15 minutes of fame, he will have 15 centuries. - Andy Warhol
My name is Ronald Reagan, I’m the President of the United States of America. But you don’t need to introduce yourself, because everyone knows who Pelé is. - Ronald Reagan

Traditionally, the "fifth season" (carnival season) is declared open at 11 minutes past 11 on the 11th of the 11th month November. The Carnival spirit is then temporarily suspended during the Advent and Christmas period, and picks up again in earnest after the 6 January (Biblical Magi) in the New Year.

The Carnival’s most famous activities are back: the popular night parades, the luxurious Ice Palace and the snow sculptures will certainly make an impression on the whole family.
