“Your legs feel like fried bacon after a day of climbing and descending. It's a roller coaster ride, but no one is pulling you up the mountain. You're headed toward Yosemite more than 4,000 feet of pounding the pedals. You are aware of every movement because your thighs feel tender with a sensation of pain. You push on, toward the final ascent into the valley. In front of you is a monster mountain-El Capitan. Your eyes grow wide. You take a deep breath. Suddenly, you feel only wonder.” FeelsEyePainGrowsWonderFeetFrontsMovementMountainTravelBreathsFinalsLegsWideMonstersSensationsClimbingValleysPullingThighsDeep BreathRoller CoasterCoastersAscentDescendingPedalsTake A Deep BreathYosemiteRoller Coaster Rides Author:Frosty Wooldridge

“We live in the age of "Everything Has Rights." Now, I'm not denying that the concept of rights is valid, but I wonder whatever happened to obligations? One rarely hears the term anymore. Indeed, have you ever heard of a "human obligations movement?" The very ideal that holds a democracy together--the willingness to make personal sacrifice for the common good--is going quickly by the wayside.” HumansAgeTogetherTermCommonResponsibilityWonderDemocracyRightsHappenedHeardSacrificeMovementConceptsIdealsObligationWillingnessCommon GoodPersonal Sacrifice Author:John Rosemond
“From the very beginning, I studied acting, directing, lighting, dance and movement. I didn't rely on just the magic to take place. It's a shame that a lot of magicians just rely on the trick itself and they have no other abilities. They get away with the wonder factor, and I don't think that's enough. It's great, but it's not enough.” ThinkingEnoughAbilityActingWonderMagicMovementShameTricksFactorsRelyGet AwayMagicianLighting Author:David Copperfield
“I can't really hear the audience applause when I'm on stage. I'm totally immersed in the piece. But sometimes I get a lot of it and wonder, "Now, why did they applaud here?" If it's a white crowd, they usually applaud because they think it's a pretty movement. If it's a black crowd, it's usually because they identify with the message.” IfsThinkingI CanSometimesBlackWhiteWonderAudiencePiecesStageMovementMessagesDanceCrowdsApplause Author:Judith Jamison

“Of all the endless variety of phenomena which nature presents to our senses, there is none that fills our minds with greater wonder than that inconceivably complex movement which, in its entirety, we designate as human life; Its mysterious origin is veiled in the forever impenetrable mist of the past, its character is rendered incomprehensible by its infinite intricacy, and its destination is hidden in the unfathomable depths of the future... .” MindHumansCharacterPastWonderForeverGreaterMovementInfiniteComplexesDepthSensesEndlessMysteriousVarietyHuman LifeDestinationMistUnfathomableEntiretyIntricacy Book:The Tesla Papers Source: The Tesla Papers
