Riding quotes

From my journal, a long time ago (1999? 2000?).

Wanless:
"At least some of us ride to find out who we really are."

Henry Moore:
"The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do."

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi:
"The best moments (in life) usually occur when a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile ... one's skills are adequate to cope with the challenges at hand ... concentration is so intense that there is no attention left over to think about problems. Self-conciousness disappears, and the sense of time becomes distorted. An activity that produces such experiences is so gratifying that people are willing to do it for its own sake, with little concern for what they will get out of it, even when it is difficult, or dangerous."

N. (?) Seuning: (I can't read my own writing)
"Riding: The dialogue of two bodies and two souls whose goal is to establish perfect harmony between them."
