No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. A man in a jail has more room, better food and commonly better company.

But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.

Albert Camus

The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same water. It flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of Herman and the roots of the cedars of Lebanon. the Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it, the Sea of Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. It gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.

Maureen Johnson

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

Ayrton Senna

Avery Brundage

It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.
