Aiki Quote

"It is one percent brain, nine percent muscle, and ninety percent feeling"

a Japanese trick pool player, after performing a mind-boggling feat. (Two billiard balls were positioned on top of two Coke bottles standing side-by-side, with two more balls resting on top of the first pair. From table surface, the man hit the white ball in such a way that it glanced off the 8-ball, flew up into the air, and knocked the bottom two balls clean off the bottle necks without upsetting the bottles. The other pair of balls that had been resting on top of the first pair, fell neatly to replace them on top of the bottles.)
