@S_A,

If you are able to express these things so artfully as expressed by great writers and thinkers, good for you , but if not so, then 'copy paste' can help tremendously :) ( atleast that's how I felt).

Cheers!

Probably Not from any 'book'..{sfaik}, but otherwise, a good 'auto-racing' quote! - "Anything can happen in 'Grande Prix' racing, and it usually does."

Ps. - The best, {if horrific}, picture for this quote.. would've been the one, where over 80 {racing}, 'Monaco' spectators, were killed, {in the mid-1950s}.. When a 'car' careened, into the viewing stands. {the 'pic' is on the 'web'.. but, I didn't search sufficiently 'hard' for it}.

Not only excerpted, from a 'book' - But, from the 'Book-of-Books' as it were!

That's true. Anything can happen in life too.

You're welcome of course. Here is an other one you might enjoy. I'm into it right now for about the third time. I also gave a copy to my father a few months back, said he could'nt wait to get into it.
