“Life isn't what you think it is. It's like water, and the young let it trickle away between their fingers without even noticing. Cup your hands, keep it safe. Life eventually becomes something else, something hard, something simple, something you can hold in your hand and nibble on contentedly as you sit in the sun.” ThinkingLifeHardHandsYoungWaterSimpleSunSafeFingersCupsNoticing Author:Jean Anouilh
“Somewhere in the wide range of activity between the hard physical effort of wading for long hours against a swift current in a rocky stream, casting steadily, and the indolence of lying quietly in the sun waiting for a bobber to go under there is a type of angling to suit everyone's mood and everyone's pocketbook. Fishing is fishing wherever it is found... Angling's problems are never solved.” LongHardProblemLyingFoundWaitingHoursEffortSunSeaTypeActivityRiversFishesCurrentsWideMoodBoatSuitsRangeStreamsLakesFishingCastingIndolenceAnglingLong HoursPocketbooks Book:The compleat Lee Wulff: a treasury of Lee Wulff's greatest angling adventures Source: The compleat Lee Wulff: a treasury of Lee Wulff's greatest angling adventures
“Sven-Göran Eriksson, confronted with arguably Europe's weakest qualifying group, has a problem; it is the same one that afflicted Jacques Santini, the France coach at the time, before Euro 2004. Not that there are no easy matches at international level; rather, there are no hard ones. In qualifying for the 2004 European Championship finals, France faced a group not of death, but of sun-block, comprising Slovenia, Israel, Cyprus and Malta, which they duly won by ten points, averaging 3.6 goals per game. We all know what happened next.” KnowsHardProblemNextGamesEasyGoalLevelsSunHappenedGroupsFootballTenEuropeFinalsInternationalIsraelCoachesBlockFranceSoccerRanAnalysisChampionshipEuroQualifyingCyprusMalta Author:Martin Samuel
“Surfing is very special and unique. It's really hard to explain unless you've tried it. It's being out in the ocean in the sun, the water on your skin, and the adrenalin rush when you catch a wave. You have to be creative so it's like an art form in a way.” WayArtHardFormWaterSunCreativeSpecialOceanUniqueSkinsWaveBe CreativeSurfing Author:Bethany Hamilton
