Quote

A torero lives with the knowledge that he can die at any moment and in any fight. But a torero is also a person with an invincible will. He doesn't want to be injured, but he is proud of having survived an injury.

A torero lives with the knowledge that he can die at any moment and in any fight. But a torero is also a person with an invincible will. He doesn't want to be injured, but he is proud of having survived an injury.
⇛ Juan Jose Padilla (Torero)

Copy Quote Text

I have been injured 37 times, in seven cases seriously. I've already had a cornada (horn-wound) at stomach level. A bull's horn once struck me in the neck, just below the larynx. And once I was hit in the upper leg, where he damaged the femoral artery and the saphenous vein. Injuries are my medals. The last injury is my worst cornada. Now I've won the gold.

Juan Jose Padilla Torero

I feel obligated to offer the audience a good fight, and I have a responsibility to entertain the fans. But I also can't make the mistake of underestimating that bull. I would be stupid if I did. No matter how well prepared I am for a bullfight, I never know what will happen in the ring. I don't know how the bull will react and whether he'll give me an opportunity to display my skills. Perhaps he'll be too stubborn for that. And then there's also the wind that makes me afraid. It's a torero's greatest enemy.

Juan Jose Padilla Torero

I've had to learn to fight all my life - got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.

Serena Williams Tennis Player

It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill.

Emilie Autumn Singer-Songwriter

You have to keep the fights clean and the sex dirty.

Kevin Bacon Actor

I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

Harriet Tubman Activist

Dark City Blue is a freight train of a thriller crashing through some madhouse city night while a bomb's ticking down to zero. It's the cage fighting equivalent of a police procedural: violent, gaudy, and packing heat.

Trent Jamieson Writer

Bismarck fought 'necessary' wars and killed thousands, the idealists of the twentieth century fight 'just' wars and kill millions.

A. J. P. Taylor Historian

I think that people don't necessary fight with or aren't necessarily beaten by weapons, but it' through their minds and what they think they can do.

Abderrahmane Sissako Film Director

In ease of body, peace of mind, all the different ranks of life are nearly upon a level and the beggar who suns himself by the side of the highway, possesses that security which kings are fighting for.

Adam Smith Philosopher
