Quote by Fridtjof Nansen
It is better to go skiing and think of God, than go to church and think of sport.

Summary
This quote suggests that the essence of spirituality lies in the state of one's mind and focus, rather than mere physical presence in a religious place. It implies that being engaged in an activity like skiing, while contemplating God, can be a more authentic spiritual experience than mechanically attending a religious service, while thinking about unrelated matters like sports. It emphasizes the importance of sincere and mindful connection with the divine, regardless of the setting or activity undertaken.
