“From the snap of the ball to the snap of the first bone is closer to four seconds than to five.and Lawrence Taylor (fearless tackle) WE all have fears, we all have fears!!”

“And what makes us human is that sometimes we snap. And in that moment of release we're closer to gods than we know.”

“I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. Basically it is nothing other than this fear we have so often talked about, but fear spread to everything, fear of the greatest as of the smallest, fear, paralyzing fear of pronouncing a word, although this fear may not only be fear but also a longing for something greater than all that is fearful.”

“From age four to five we are all romantics; we are all embryonic royalty, budding ballerinas, or intrepid astronauts; we are all fearless, open, affectionate, and beautiful.”

“Men have two greatest fears: the first fear is the fear of being needed, and the second fear is the fear of not being needed.”

“Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It's the mastery of fear. It's about getting up one more time than we fall down.”
