Summary

This quote suggests that only activities such as auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing can be classified as real sports, while all other endeavors are merely games. It implies that these three activities involve heightened levels of risk, physical exertion, and skill, distinguishing them from other leisure activities that may be less intense. The quote reflects a subjective perspective on the definition and criteria of sports, prioritizing the elements of danger, adventure, and competition in determining what qualifies as a true sport.

The influence of friendship upon culture differs from that of love, in that it assumes the basic idiosyncrasies of personal taste to be unalterable. Love, in spite of all rational knowledge to the contrary, is always in the mood of believing in miracles.
