“In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing, it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible, to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.” WayBodySportsBrainRocksMovementWallHigherLowsYour BodyClimbingRock ClimbingPersuading Author:Jo Nesbo

“I have the disadvantage of not being sociable. Wall Street men are fond of company and sport. A man makes one hundred thousand dollars there and immediately buys a yacht, begins to race fast horses, and becomes a sport generally. My tastes lie in a different direction. When business hours are over I go home and spend the remainder of the day with my wife, my children, and books of my library. Every man has natural inclinations of his own. Mine are domestic. They are not calculated to make me particularly popular in Wall Street, and I cannot help that.” MenChildrenBookDifferentHelpingHomeLyingSportsHoursNaturalRaceCompanyWifeStreetsMinesWallTasteThousandHundredHorseDollarsLibraryMy WifeEvery ManMy ChildrenInclinationDisadvantagesDifferent DirectionsYachtSociable Author:Jay Gould
“In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line. In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! I hope I'll be safe at home!” IfsLongUseHomeSportsLinesKnownEnemyFieldsObjectsFootballWallSafeBaseballDefenseHolesBombsSpiteTargetMarchTerritoryTroopsHittingBulletsAssaultAccuracyQuarterbackReceiverShotgunsBlitz Author:George Carlin
“I always wanted to make an abstract photograph. I would photograph walls, sports interiors, marks on the walls people made. Even looking back it makes so much sense.
