“The human mind prefers something which it can recognize to something for which it has no name, and, whereas thousands of persons carry field glasses to bring horses, ships, or steeples close to them, only a few carry even the simplest pocket microscope. Yet a small microscope will reveal wonders a thousand times more thrilling than anything which Alice saw behind the looking-glass.” MindHumansPersonsScienceNamesBehindsWonderSawsFieldsThousandHorseGlassesShipsPocketsHuman MindSimplestThrillingMicroscopesSteeples Author:David Fairchild

“The element of heroic maleness had always been present in the concept of the artist as one who rides the winged horse above the clouds beyond the sight of lesser men, a concept seldom applied to those who worked with colours until the nineteenth century. When the inevitable question is asked, "Why are there no great women artists?" it is this dimension of art that is implied. The askers know little of art, but they know the seven wonders of the painting world.” KnowsMenWorldLittlesArtArtistWonderCenturyPaintingElementsConceptsSightHorseSevenCloudsInevitableColourDimensionsHeroicNineteenth CenturyGreat WomenImpliedWoman ArtistMalenessAbove The Clouds Book:The Obstacle Race: The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work Source: The Obstacle Race: The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work
“Over analyse, paralyse, you mustn't over analyse... Do you wake up at four in the morning and wonder who should be playing left-back? Four? I would love to sleep that long. If you want a really long career you have to find a way of switching off. I do it when I'm out walking my dog, Alex Ferguson got into horses, others get into wine. Some players like going shopping, which is not my scene. A lot of them turn to golf. I tried it, didn't like it. I have to walk.

“Some guys make their careers off one horse; kind of a trick horse, a wonder horse. I'm not knocking that, but for me I'm trying to get better and study. That means taking out new horses. It's a life study. When I've finished a horse, I turn him out and basically stop riding him, except taking him to the occasional branding so I can enjoy him.” TryingKindMeanI CanGuyTurnsEnjoyWonderCareersStudyHorseFinishedTricksGet BetterRidingBrandingOccasionalKnocking Author:Buck Brannaman

“Ram, ass, and horse, my Kyrnos, we look over With care, and seek good stock for good to cover; And yet the best men make no argument, But wed, for money, runts of poor descent. So too a woman will demean her state And spurn the better for the richer mate. Money's the cry. Good stock to bad is wed And bad to good, till all the world's cross-bred. No wonder if the country's breed declines- Mixed metal, Kyrnos, that but dimly shines.” IfsMenWorldLooksCountryStatesCarePoorWonderCryArgumentCrossesHorseShiningAssMatesMetalsDeclineEugenicsDescentRamsRunts Author:Theognis of Megara
