Greater Quote by Laird Hamilton
“For those searching for something more than just the norm. We lay it all down, including what others call sanity, for just a few moments on waves larger than life. We do this because we know there is still something greater than all of us. Something that inspires us spiritually. We start going down hill, when we stop taking risks.”

![“[On 9/11:] ... those towers represented human triumph over nature. Larger than life, built to be unburnable, they were the Titanic of our day. For them to burn and fall so quickly means that the whole superstructure we depend upon to mitigate nature and assure our comfort and safety could fall.” quote by Starhawk](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5bc/starhawk-3881_built_on-9-11-those-towers-represented-human-t_166623.jpg)
