There is a story in zen circles about a man and a horse. the horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «where are you going?» and the first man replies, «i don't know! ask the horse!» this is also our story. we are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. the horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.

By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. by being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. and if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. and the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. i race to win as long as i feel it's possible. sometimes you get it wrong? sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. but i race designed to win, as long as i feel i'm doing it right.

This one isn’t just any old horse. there’s a nobility in his eye, a regal serenity about him. does he not personify all that men try to be and never can be? i tell you, my friend, there’s divinity in a horse, and specially in a horse like this. god got it right the day he created them. and to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war, is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap. we don’t belong in the same universe as a creature like this.

Horse racing is really much more intimidating than anything having to do with literature. when i had horses at the racetrack, i would wake up in terror in a way that i would never wake up while working on a novel.

He’s sort of a homeless horse,” i said. “i’m leaving for the airport in two seconds, and i won’t be back for a couple days. you can put the horse in the garage, but i don’t want that horse in my apartment.” “who would put a horse in an apartment? that’s dumb.” “where’s the horse staying now?” “my apartment.” “i can always count on you to brighten my day,” ranger said. and he disconnected.

Three things are men most likely to be cheated in, a horse, a wig, and a wife.

The paradox of friendship is that it is both the strongest thing in the world and the most fragile. wild horses cannot separate friends, but whining words can. a man will lay down his life for his friend but will not sacrifice his eardrums.
Friendship Horse Sacrifice
When i bestride him, i soar, i am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of hermes.
