Seventeen years ago, a sunny day came along where the ice that covered a
bleak cornfield glistened in the late afternoon sun. Seventeen years
ago, my feet were covered for the first time by leather and steel.
Seventeen years ago, I took my first step onto the ice, in the most
unlikely of circumstances, yet dressed head to toe in dreams.

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.
