“«Όλα αρχίζουν από την πρώτη φορά, και όσο το επαναλαμβάνω, γίνεται πιο εύκολο. Είναι σαν το μποξ — όταν ξεκινάς, νιώθεις σαν να φοράς τακούνια· όμως με τον καιρό, το σώμα μαθαίνει, και τα τακούνια γίνονται αρβύλες.
Everything starts with the first time, and the more I repeat it, the easier it becomes. It’s like boxing—when you begin, it feels like wearing heels; but over time, your body learns, and those heels turn into boots.”
― Ο Άνθρωπος Όταν Ξυπνάει

“Limited no longer by his own capacities, he had an odds advantage that he had never had as a competitor. He knew he could last. But his fighters were less dependable. Some trained one day and laid off two, fought once and quit, lost their timing, came back, struggled into condition, gasped and missed and were beaten, or won several bouts and got married, or moved, or were drafted, joined the navy or went to jail, were bleeders, suffered headaches, saw double or broke their hands.”
