Philippe Petit Practicing Quotations

If I am practicing on the wire, and you pushed me, I would not move, and if you take a piece of wood and beat me up on the shoulder and the head, I would not move. You would not put me out of balance. You would not be able to. I am solid as granite when I am on the tight rope, and I should be.

It's very easy to walk on a wire if you spend a whole lifetime practicing for it.

I was thrown out of different schools because I was practicing my arts - magic, juggling, and the high wire.
