"In the end, to ski is to travel fast and free - free over the untouched snow covered country. To be bound to one slope, even to one mountain, by a lift may be convenient but it robs us of the greatest pleasure that skiing can give, that is, to travel through the wide wintry country; to follow the lure of the peaks which tempt on the horizon and to be alone for a few days or even a few hours in, clear, mysterious surroundings."
-Hans Gmoser
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, his greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

"Nice shoes. Let's fuck."
The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.
-G.K. Chesterton

Then she knelt in front of him. One thing was clear: the cowboy must have spent at least six chaste months on a yoghurt ranch eating nothing but icecream and buttermilk, and with a watertight no-handjob clause in his contract. By the time he was through, Juanita looked like the patsy in the custard-pie joke, which I suppose is what she was. The camera proudly lingered as she spat and blinked and coughed....Hard to tell, really, who was the biggest loser in this complicated transaction - her, him, them, me.

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Before I ski this snowy slope I must climb up it.

Why did Jean Paul Sartre ski? How well did he ski? How well does he ski now that he is dead?

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
— H. L. Mencken
The liberation of the human mind has never been furthered by such learned dunderheads; it has been furthered by gay fellows who heaved dead cats into sanctuaries and then went roistering down the highways of the world, proving to all men that doubt, after all, was safe--that the god in the sanctuary was finite in his power, and hence a fraud. One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms. It is not only more effective; it is also vastly more intelligent.
— H. L. Mencken, Prejudices (fourth series)
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.
— H.L. Mencken, US editor (1880 - 1956)
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
— H. L. Mencken
Puritanism - The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
— H. L. Mencken, A Book of Burlesques
Christian - One who is willing to serve three Gods, but draws the line at one wife.
— H. L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy
God is the immemorial refuge of the incompetent, the helpless, the miserable. They find not only sanctuary in His arms, but also a kind of superiority, soothing to their macerated egos: He will set them above their betters.
— H. L. Mencken, Minority Report: H. L. Mencken's Notebooks
After all, all he did was string together a lot of old, well-known quotations.
— H. L. Mencken on Shakespeare
Platitude: an idea (a) that is admitted to be true by everyone, and (b) that is not true.

"Money, hoes, and clothes, all a nigga knows." - Biggie Smalls
We must take sides. Nuetrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national boarders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe. - Eli Wiesel accepting the Nobel Peace Prize
