More Tapping Quotes

The losers included New Zealand bottled water, which ranked a dismal eighteenth place despite coming from an extinct volcano and costing 50,000 times more than tap water. — Tim Spector
I didn't get into ultra-endurance sports to win races, beat others, or stand atop podiums.

A way to tap into my unexplored reservoirs of potential--and touch the other side. This was the promise of Ultraman. And it delivered in spades. — Rich Roll
UFC is also safer than boxing because of the tap-out rule.

L. Mencken
