Quotations
136 ;;Quote: in repeated movements, the endpoints are accurate but the path varies widely; e.g., moving a matchbox
| 136+;;Quote: how can accurate endpoints arise from careless, indifferent paths?
| 137 ;;Quote: movement is a quick and perfect translation from the language of spatial representation to the language of muscle formula
| 137+;;Quote: all possible ways of reaching a point are completely interchangeable
| 139 ;;Quote: spatial movements (e.g., locomotion) invariably come with flexibility and maneuverability; animals are best
| 145 ;;Quote: coordinated, movement sequences (actions) are rare amoung animals; only apes and the highest mammals such as horses, dogs, and elephants
| 146 ;;Quote: actions are coordinated sequences of movements that solve a motor problem; e.g., lighting a cigarette; lots of variation
| 147 ;;Quote: movement sequences (actions) have a chain structure and adaptive variability; allows complex motor tasks with existing motor facilities
| 148 ;;Quote: movement sequences (actions) typically involve an object; the object ties the movements into meaningful chains; e.g., cooking an egg
| 148 ;;Quote: a movement sequence (action) may contain illogical steps; e.g., tightening a belt in order to loosen it; difficult for animals or small children
| 150 ;;Quote: speech is a movement sequence (action); linked by a common meaning; with frequent deviations and modifications
| 178 ;;Quote: the grasshopper jumps without seeing where; most jumps are failures
| 248 ;;Quote: is the brain or the muscle the ruling Tzar when you jump, walk, and run?
