"I had to make a decision of shifting my weight from one foot anchored on the building to the foot anchored on the wire. This is probably the end of my life, I don't know. And on the other hand, something I could not resist, and I made no effort to resist, called me upon that wire."

- Philippe Petit - tightrope artist
