• Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the universe
  What could you say as the Earth gets further and further away
  Planets are small as balls of clay
  Astray into the Milky Way, world's outasight
  Far as the eye can see, not even a satellite
  Now stop and turn around and look
  As you stare in the darkness, your knowledge is took!
  So keep starin' soon you suddenly see a star
  You better follow it, cause it's the R.

• Training was a rite of purification; from it came speed, strength. Racing was a rite of death; from it came knowledge. Such rites demand, if they are to be meaningful at all, a certain amount of time spent precisely on the Red Line, where you can lean over the manicured putting green at the edge of the precipice and see exactly nothing.
