"The sad thing about any business I suppose, but in mine you see it particularly, is that you're always asked to do what you've already done."

-- Jeremy Irons

“He was moving through a new order of creation, of which few men had ever dreamed. Beyond the realms of sea and land and air and space lay the realms of fire, which he alone had been privileged to glimpse. It was too much to expect that he would also understand.”
“God is waiting to satisfy us, yet His goodness will not satisfy us if we are already full of other things.”
“The only compensation, gained through the influence of nongovernmental organizations, consisted in slightly broadening for private individuals the possibility of access and appeal to the agencies enforcing the Covenant concerned with civil and political rights.”
“By now, a million pedal strokes have etched the muscles in my legs with a single purpose: to power the crank and move the bicycle forward. Food flows into my body, bringing it power and strength. It is no longer a question of struggle. Now the journey evolves into the spiritual realm-where the pedaling becomes instinctive. It's a free-flow of energy that comes through my body and willingly expresses itself in the flight of the pedals.”
“I would rather die then try to live without youâ€, â€œMay you always love me and want me but never have meâ€, â€œMay you never love anyone but meâ€.”
“I have two basic rules about winning in trading as well as in life: 1. If you don't bet, you can't win. 2. If you lose all your chips, you can't bet.”
“God has destined you to soar. You have victory, freedom and excellence on the inside.”
“The culture of drink endures because it offers so many rewards: confidence for the shy, clarity for the uncertain, solace to the wounded and lonely, and above all, the elusive promises of friendship and love.”
