“Hardship and danger destroys fewer people than indulgence.”
― Helen MacInnes, While Still We Live

“It did not require a great deal of imagination to picture a world in which power had passed into the hands of Al Capones with their private bombing squadrons.”
― James Hilton, The Definitive James Hilton Collection

“Yoga is simply one of those things impervious to certainty, as incapable of corruption as it is of authenticity. And no amount of bossy, possessive attempts to claim a “real yoga” will make it otherwise.”
― Benjamin Lorr, Hell-Bent: Obsession, Pain, and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Competitive Yoga

“The postures are both a metaphor and a means for that process. They are tools for creating a connection between the imagination and the physical world. Realizing this connection—this union between body and mind—could be called yoga.”
― Benjamin Lorr, Hell-Bent: Obsession, Pain, and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Competitive Yoga
