Famous quotes containing the words ski, winter and/or sports:
“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)
“Out alone in the winter rain,
Intent on giving and taking pain.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Falling in love is the right adventure for those who dislike sports and travel.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
