Famous quotes containing the words country and/or ski:
“In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
“The goal for all blind skiers is more freedom. You don’t have to see where you’re going, as long as you go. In skiing, you ski with your legs and not with your eyes. In life, you experience things with your mind and your body. And if you’re lacking one of the five senses, you adapt.”
—Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)
