Hammers

Laurent Fignon Cyclist

"Sometimes, when we train, we simply have to go out to meet the Man with the Hammer"

Ernest Hemingway Novelist

"In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you'll dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dull and know I had to put it to the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused."

Umberto Eco Writer, Philosopher, Literary Critic

"The book is like the spoon, scissors, the hammer, the wheel. Once invented, it cannot be improved. You cannot make a spoon that is better than a spoon... The book has been thoroughly tested, and it's very hard to see how it could be improved on for its current purposes."

Mark Twain Writer, Humorist

"If your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail."
