Physiological Wall
In marathon running a runner can 'hit' 'the wall'. A point where the human brain and body feels like it cannot be pushed further or continue. Runners find this incredibly hard to break through and continue.
A wall can also refer to something that the human mind is blocking or hiding from memory but this is debatable.

Famous quotes containing the word wall:
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
