And I just am quiet and it happens.

We just have to be smart enough.' ~Miles/Pudge and Chip/the Colonel, pg 168
John GreenIn Formula 1, the neck is really important. There's a lot of force that's going to your head. We also have a helmet and it's not that light. When it's all about g-force, all of that extra weight in the helmet compounds and puts more and more pressure. To be able to maintain your head in a straight position - especially around the corners and while braking - you need to have strong neck. To train that, it's difficult.

Stoning is therefore integral to the commandment against murder.

I could be in serious trouble and so could she.'" "What did she say?" "She hit me on the head with the rock again," Ford responded curtly. "I think i can confirm that was my daughter." "Sweet kid."

Douglas AdamsHe wanted head and hands and arms on a pillow - in many different positions. I was asked to move my hands in many different ways - also my head - and I had to turn this way and that.

Georgia O'KeeffeThe ability to walk in someone else's shoes, or in my case, play down in someone else's cleats is one of the very best things you can do.
