“Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else; it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being... There are NO limits. There are plateus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.”

“...good technique includes quick changes, great variety and speed. It may be a system of reversals much like a concept of God and the Devil.

When you have that you will know that there are no limits.”
