Champions...

"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill." 

Muhammad Ali

what is the link?

"I fell in love with football as I would later fall in love with women: suddenly, uncritically, giving no thought to the pain it would bring." - Nick Hornby

"The virtue of angels is that they cannot deteriorate; their flaw is that they cannot improve. Humanity's flaw is that we can deteriorate; but our virtue is that we can improve. " - Hasidic saying

The link is that both quotations are going to appear in my new novel which is beginning to take shape - but lots more work to do on it....

This amused me...

Grant me the serenity

to accept the things I

cannot change.

The courage to change the

things I cannot accept,

and the wisdom to hide

the bodies of those people

I had to kill today

because

they pissed me off

and also,

help me to be careful of

the toes I step on today,

as they may be connected

to the asses that I may

have to kiss

tomorrow.

We have no time to stand and stare."
