Words that Inspire Me

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."

- The Alchemist

"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And you will tell them YES."

- Nike

"Try the meditation of the trail, just walk along looking at the trail at your feet and don't look about and just fall into a trance as the ground zips by..."

- Jack Kerouac

"The climbing of mountains never ends, because climbing is continuous: you go up and over, and up and over again. This repetition, driven by the need to climb again, is hard to explain. No true mountaineer heads upward in a spirit of conquest — a heavily laden term burdened by implications of against. Rather, the climbing itself is the main event, and the randomness of climbing is part of its attractiveness."

- Tim Muskat, Appalachia (Winter/Spring 2006)
