There is no suspension, no whispered prayer for silk to stop my fall. There is only the falling, and it goes on and on, in fierce silence and sharp bursts of breath.

About This Quote

The idea of falling is very frightening. Especially, when the person who is falling is an Olympic athlete and it’s at the highest level. An athlete knows that if he or she falls, the consequences could be bad and so they work incredibly hard to make sure they do not fall or lose their balance. At first, we might think that we can handle falling but as time goes on, we realize that as a result of our own mistakes and actions, we fall at times as well.

In life, there is no suspension. There is only the falling and it goes on and on. In fierce silence and sharp bursts of breath.
