... I said about limiting factors. Well, there's one that you can't beat. Put steel under fifty thousand pounds per square inch pressure and it starts to flow.

At twenty miles above the planet's surface, they had reached that limit. They had reached dead end. (Clifford D. Simak)

Clive James
I was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me. It wasn't like I got beat up, but the humiliation and isolation, and the existential 'God, I exist, and nobody cares' of being a teenager were extremely pronounced for me. View quote

I would rather be beaten and be a man than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. I have always supported measures and principles and not men.

Davy Crockett

I beat Larry Holmes and George Foreman. I whupped Mike Tyson twice. I had my ear chewed off and spat on the ground in front of me. I've seen everything it is possible to see in boxing. I know this business better than anyone. So I live and die by my own decisions. View quote
Evander Holyfield
It's interesting. I've known quite a few good athletes that can't begin to play a beat on the drum set. Most team sport is about the smooth fluidity of hand-eye coordination and physical grace, where drumming is much more about splitting all those things up. View quote
Neil Peart
This is all very nice, because the ideas that Jack and the Beat generation stood for are needed today more than ever. But I'm not so interested in nostalgia. I'm interested in the future. View quote

Anthony Trollope
