Quotes of the Week - January 17, 2012:
"Our campaign is about more than replacing a President. It is about
saving the soul of America." -- Republican Mitt Romney, US presidential
hopeful, after winning New Hampshire primary.
"Remember to look up at the stars and not down to your feet. Try
to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe
exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always
something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just
give up." -- Professor Stephen Hawking on his 70th birthday.
"American children had never seen a moving bosom before."
-- Actress Celia Imrie on the alarm caused by her low-cut dress in Nanny
McPhee.

Ride lots.
Eddy Merckx
She who succeeds in gaining the mastery of the bicycle will
gain the mastery of life.
Frances E. Willard
How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle.
The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride
bicycles. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs
both support and freedom. The realization that this is what
the child will always need can hit hard.
Sloan Wilson
While it is a very hard and sometimes very cruel profession,
my love for the bike remains as strong now as it was in the
days when I first discovered it. I am convinced that long after
I have stopped riding as a professional I will be riding my
bicycle. I never want to abandon my bike. I see my grandfather,
now in his seventies and riding around everywhere. To me that
is beautiful. And the bike must always remain a part of my life.
Stephen Roche
When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future
of the human race.
H.G. Wells
Wheel, kindly light, along life's cycle path, Wheel Thou on
me! The road is rough, I have discerned Thy Wrath, But wheel
me on!
Christian Hymn
The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other
forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle
remains pure in heart.
Iris Murdoch
The Red and the Green.
When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations:
bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting
and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings
of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature
instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking,
of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The
world is breaking someone else's heart.
Diane Ackerman
For instance, the bicycle is the most efficient machine ever
created: Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent
of three thousand miles per gallon.
Bill Strickland
The Quotable Cyclist.
Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling.
James E. Starrs
Until mountain biking came along, the bike scene was ruled by
a small elite cadre of people who seemed allergic to enthusiasm.
Jacquie Phelan
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live.
Mark Twain
Taming the Bicycle.
Cycling is unique. No other sport lets you go like that - where
there's only the bike left to hold you up. If you ran as hard,
you'd fall over. Your legs wouldn't support you.
Steve Johnson
Life is like riding a bicycle - in order to keep your balance,
you must keep moving.
Albert Einstein
Mankind has invested more than four million years of evolution
in the attempt to avoid physical exertion. Now a group of backward-thinking
atavists mounted on foot-powered pairs of Hula-Hoops would have
us pumping our legs, gritting our teeth, and searing our lungs
as though we were being chased across the Pleistocene savanna
by saber-toothed tigers. Think of the hopes, the dreams, the
effort, the brilliance, the pure force of will that, over the
eons, has gone into the creation of the Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
Bicycle riders would have us throw all this on the ash heap
of history.
P.J. O'Rourke
Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.
John F. Kennedy
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country
best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.
Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor
car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate
remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by
riding a bicycle.
Ernest Hemingway
What do you call a cyclist who doesn't wear a helmet? An organ
donor.
David Perry
It is curious that with the advent of the automobile and the
airplane, the bicycle is still with us. Perhaps people like
the world they can see from a bike, or the air they breathe
when they're out on a bike. Or they like the bicycle's simplicity
and the precision with which it is made. Or because they like
the feeling of being able to hurtle through air one minute,
and saunter through a park the next, without leaving behind
clouds of choking exhaust, without leaving behind so much as
a footstep.
Gurdon S. Leete
Bicycling is the nearest approximation I know to the flight
of birds. The airplane simply carries a man on its back like
an obedient Pegasus; it gives him no wings of his own.
Louis J. Helle, Jr.
Spring in Washington.
The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple. The slower you
go the more likely it is you'll crash.
Julie Furtado
Things look different from the seat of a bike carrying a sleeping
bag with a cold beer tucked inside.
Jim Malusa
All creatures who have ever walked have wished that they might
fly. With highwheelers a flesh and blood man can hitch wings
to his feet.
Karl Kron
Ten Thousand Miles on a Bicycle.
Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three
things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started
to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off.
Most important of all, we know that if at any point between
the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and
does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a
metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and
I think of any society of living things.
William Golding
Think of bicycles as rideable art that can just about save the
world.
