“By virtue of some of the ways the game is played, in terms of message discipline, in terms of access for reporters, and especially in the way that sources and subjects, especially famous subjects, treat the media, almost by default there's more news that's falling into books.” WayBookFallGamesTermVirtueSubjectsMediaSourceDisciplineMessagesNewsTreatsAccessReportersDefault Author:Ron Suskind
“People don't want to do new things if they think they're going to be bad at them or people are going to laugh at them. You have to be willing to subject yourself to failure, to be bad, to fall on your head and do it again, and try stuff that you've never done in order to be the best you can be.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantTryingDoneOrderFallStuffLaughingSubjectsWillingBeing The BestNew Things Author:Laird Hamilton

“How can you shorten the subject? That stern struggle with the multiplication table, for many people not yet ended in victory, how can you make it less?

Instead, the other way; your feet are impeded in the tangled growth, your pace slackens, you sink and fall somewhere near the binomial theorem with the calculus in sight on the horizon.” PeopleWayYearsPastFallProcessGrowthEffortStruggleFeetSubjectsVictoryRootsSightMathematicsTablesMathShouldersMathematicalHorizonPaceSquaresEquationsRippleArithmeticAlgebraTangledCalculusTheoremsMultiplicationStumpsSquare RootsHardwoodQuadraticsQuadratic Equation Author:Stephen Leacock
“Another striding instance is recorded by the very intelligent traveler regarding a representation of the fall of our first parents, sculptured in the magnificent temple of Ipsambul in Nubia.

“I could have wished that the reputations of many brave men were not to be imperilled in the mouth of a single individual, to stand or fall according as he spoke well or ill.
