The Way of Salt Quotes

“This is the true sumo: allowing yourself (as a result of your day after day, year after year life of practice), to react naturally to your opponent (without thought), and to take the result (whether victory or defeat) with a polite bow, and then to go back to your heya to think about tomorrow’s battle because this one is finished and already forgotten.

And so, begin again.”
― Ash Warren, The Way of Salt: Sumo and the Culture of Japan
