Ungrateful land! Well, too, does this instruct That greatest ills fall to the perfectest. And, midst a thousand proofs, let this suffice- That, as his exile had no parallel, So never was there man more great than he. - Michelangelo

I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. 'Action sport' would be the least offensive categorization. - Tony Hawk
I feel like skateboarding is as much of a sport as a lifestyle, and an art form, so there's so much that that transcends in terms of music, fashion, and entertainment. - Tony Hawk
