Laura Hillenbrand Quotes

But For All Its Miseries, There Was An Unmistakable Allure To The Jockey's Craft ... Man Is Preoccupied With Freedom Yet Laden With Handicaps. The Breadth Of His Activity And Experience Is Narrowed By The Limitations Of His Relative Weak, Sluggish Body. The Racehorse, By Virtue Of His Awesome Physical Gifts, Freed The Jockey From Himself. When A Horse And A Jockey Flew Over The Tack Together, There Were Moments In Which The Man's Mind Wedded Itself To The Animal's Body To Form Something Greater Than The Sum Of Both Parts. The Horse Partook Of The Jockey's Cunning; The Jockey Partook Of The Horse's Supreme Power. For The Jockey, The Saddle Was A Place Of Unparalled Exhilaration, Of Transcendence.
