“I’ve embraced the fact that you don’t have to be perfect,’ he explained. ‘You’ve just got to try to hit that ball solid. Solid shots usually pan out. They may not be phenomenal, but hit solid shots. I’m just getting more and more experienced.”
Iain Carter, The Majors 2015: The Thrilling Battle for Golf's Greatest Trophies

“When Justin had that birdie putt, then I had that slider for par, that’s when I really felt like it could get out of my hands if I’m not careful,’ said Spieth. ‘At that point, I was with my putter. I didn’t care what it looked like, didn’t care about my posture, didn’t care about the mechanics. It was all feel-based. I was seeing the line. I was seeing the arc of the putt.

Patrick Rothfuss

Sara Baume, Spill Simmer Falter Wither

"May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks," answered Gandalf, who knew the correct reply.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Annotated Hobbit: The Hobbit, or, There and back again
