Quote by Richard Bresler

“Think about a big, strong white belt on his first day of class. What's it like rolling with him? You probably catch him, but up until that point it's kind of crazy, kind of wild and unpredictable. It's different from rolling with a blue belt who may be good and fast but who's mostly doing moves that are recognizable as Jiu-Jitsu. But the thing is, the average guy you fight out in the street is going to be a lot more like the white belt. When you get mounted on a guy like that, you can't rush into things. You have to focus on weathering the storm.”

“They reached an exit off the highway, Amir’s favorite spot in the city. The exit curves on top of a bridge and as you look behind in the side mirror, you see the future: the pristine Downtown Dubai skyline overshadowing the cranes that are racing to the sky. And right in the middle of this immaculate horizon stands the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. But as the car turns and moves, when you look ahead and in front of you, you see two mosques, each with a pair of minarets in perfect juxtaposition, a sacred geometric omen towering the roofs of the villas scattered all around. To Amir, he sees the past in front and the future behind when a car takes this turn. Now there’s a paradox.”
