“My father considered himself fully weaponized, not only because he was a skilled fighter and in peak shape, but because he knew how to harness his will.”
Shannon Lee, Be Water, My Friend: The Teachings of Bruce Lee

“Mount Everest has a “death zone”. When a climber is in that zone, at very high altitude, he’s living on borrowed time. He will almost certainly need a good oxygen supply. All living tissue is starting to die (necrosis) thanks to the cold and the altitude. Unlike climbers, the higher that geniuses ascend, the more invigorated they become, the stronger their flesh and minds become. They experience the opposite of necrosis. They have entered the Life Zone.”
Mike Hockney, HyperHumanity
