Women Ski Jumping

Famous quotes containing the words women, ski and/or jumping:

    “For God, nothing is impossible. And, if he wanted, in the future women would give birth from their ears.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    “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)

    “Unwind, hands,
    you angel webs,
    unwind like the coil of a jumping jack,
    cup together and let yourselves fill up with sun
    and applaud, world,
    applaud.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
