Rigging is like Zen meditation. You must bend over the boat until your back is breaking, until your brain is filled with numbers and fractions of numbers, until you can accurately measure an oarlock’s pitch without bothering to use the pitch meter. Only then will you see the way of eternal rigging happiness.
Brad Alan LewisBrad Alan Lewis I chose the name Pi because it’s an irrational number (one with no discernable pattern). Yet scientists use this irrational number to come to a “rational” understanding of the universe. To me, religion is a bit like that, “irrational” yet with it we come together we come to a sound understanding of the universe.
Yann MartelYann Martel Of course I know our economic growth can’t match our population growth so of course I know we’ll all get poorer until we get that number down – don’t tell me, tell the other idiots!
Bernard ChidzeroBernard Chidzero My point was that removing Saddam should not have been our highest priority. Fighting terrorism should have been our number one concern, followed by the Palestinian peace process.
Brent ScowcroftBrent Scowcroft My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me.
Yasmin MogahedYasmin Mogahed The trouble with being number one in the world – in anything- is that it takes a certain mentality to attain that position, and that is something of a driving, perfectionist attitude, so that once you do achieve number one, you don’t relax and enjoy it.
