‘Pressure such as one could not imagine, now that to maintain you must win. Now that winning is the expected.

Or the others, wanting from you, and only so long as you play with abandon, winning. […] What is the instruction if we shape the ephebe into the athlete who can win fearlessly to be loved, yet we do not prepare her for the time after fear comes, no?’
