  • We have worked at full speed since May. And that is I’m persuaded the root and source and origin of all health and happiness, provided of course that one rides work as a man rides a great horse, in a spirited and independent way; not a drudge, but a man with spurs to his heels. (Writing in her journal about her life as a publisher and writer.)

Quotes

“

The Volvo Ocean Race doesn’t follow most sporting conventions. Crew members often hail from countries other than the nation sponsoring their boat, and it isn’t necessarily a single nation doing the sponsoring. Alvimedica flies both the American and Turkish flags, and has a mostly American crew. Vestas is sponsored by a Danish wind energy company and is helmed by an Australian. Throughout the racing, crews devote nine months of their lives to the often-treacherous pursuit of a victory that offers no financial reward Yet at stake is tremendous pride. Unlike the America’s Cup—to some extent a test of which yacht costs the most to build—the seven Volvo teams are all competing in essentially the same 65-foot sailing boat, making it a true test of skill. It is also a test of sportsmanship. A basic rule of the sport and of the Volvo race: Never leave a competitor in danger. In the 2006 installment of the Volvo Race—a competition, dating to 1973, that takes place every three years—the crew of the ABN Amro 2 sailed off-course to rescue sailors on the sinking Movistar.
