Johnny Weir

Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.

Being afraid to fall down means being afraid of moving forward. Being afraid to fall down means being afraid to stand up. Because every time you fall down, whether it's in skating or life, you have to learn to stand up again and keep walking forward. So I'm never looking at falling down as a bad thing--unless, of course, you break your neck. That's not nice.
