I came across Philippe Petit's book "Traité du funambulisme" and it's very fascinating. He is a great man whom I hope to meet one day. From now on, I will share with you some quotes that will go very well with the universe of my tightrope walkers.

“A crossing on a wire is a metaphor for life: there is a beginning, an end, a progression, and if you take a step aside, you die.” Philippe Petit
