Today is International Walk Day, so here are some quotes about walking:
If we walk far enough, we shall sometime come to someplace. L Frank Baum
Everywhere is within walking distance... if you have the time. Steven Wright
Walking is not a lost art – one must, by some means, get to the car. Euan Esar
No city should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning. Cyril Connolly
An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. Henry David Thoreau
All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking. Friedrich Nietsche
Walking is the ultimate travel adventure. You never know where your feet will take you. Richard A. Schmidt
If you are in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you are still in a bad mood, go for another walk. Hippocrates
If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. Noel Coward
The six richest people in Britain decide to hold a contest to settle the question of which of them is most successful. It will be a gladiator style contest with each entrant fielding a team of ten super-powered combatants. Entrepreneur Llew Powell sets out to put together his team, which includes his former lover, an employee of his company with a fascinating hobby, two refugees from another dimension (a lonely giant and a drunken sailor), two sisters bound together by a promise, a diminutive doctor, a former Tibetan monk initiate and two androids with a history. As the team train together, alliances form, friendships and more develop, while others find the past is not easy to leave behind.
Meanwhile, a ruthless race of aliens has its eyes on the Earth. Already abducting and enslaving humans, they work towards the final invasion which would destroy life on Earth as we know it. Powell’s group, Combat Team Alpha, stumble upon one of the wormholes the aliens use to travel to Earth and witness for themselves the horrors in store if the aliens aren’t stopped. Barely escaping with their lives, they realise there are more important things to worry about than a fighting competition.
