Famous quotes containing the words american and/or resources:
“The goal for all blind skiers is more freedom. You dont have to see where youre 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 youre lacking one of the five senses, you adapt.”
—Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)
“Everywhere we are told that our human resources are all to be used, that our civilization itself means the uses of everything it hasthe inventions, the histories, every scrap of fact. But there is one kind of knowledgeinfinitely precious, time- resistant more than monuments, here to be passed between the generations in any way it may be: never to be used. And that is poetry.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (19131980)
