Quote by Tor Syvrud

“Live and let go. We hold on too tightly, forgetting that all will be lost. To live is not to stay in the shallow waters of our fears of ineptitude, of our insecurity. To live is to swim into the deep; alone, but not lonely; afraid, but with courage; content with all that is, marveling at the ambiguous, miraculous wonder of being.”

“Ima u njemu nečeg krhkog. Potpuno je nezaštićen, izložen, ranjiv, takav je čak i njegov polni organ, kog povazdan mora da nosi isturenog, izvan sebe; ali on je snažan, neverovatno snažan. Nisam siguran da bi mogao da vuče sanke duže nego ja, ali je u stanju da vuče snažnije i brže - duplo snažnije. On može da podigne prednji ili zadnji deo sanki kako bi zaobišao prepreku. Ja ne bih uspeo da podignem i držim toliki teret, osim u doteu. U skladu sa tom krhkošću i snagom, njegov duh lako zapada u očajanje i lako prkosi okolini: žestoka, nestrpljiva hrabrost. Polagano, teško, puzavo napredovanje kojem smo se ovih dana predali iscrpljuje njegovo telo i duh tako da bi ga, da je pripadnik moje rase, smatrao za kukavicu, ali on je sve samo ne to, odvažnost kao što je njegova ja još nisam sreo. Spreman je i željan da stavi život na kocku nad provalijom.”
