Famous quotes containing the words alpine, world and/or ski:

    The shades of night were falling fast,
    As through an Alpine village passed
    A youth, who bore, ‘mid snow and ice,
    A banner with the strange device,
    Excelsior!
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Whoever is still seeking for miracles so that he may believe is himself a wonder, who does not believe while the world around him does.
    St. Augustine (354–430)

    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)
