QOTD: David Smith, Stonewall Fitness

"Fitness isn't about trying to look perfect, you shouldn't be training to have the perfect body. Fitness is a reflection of who you are, what you are trying to accomplish. Your body is simply the sculpture of who you are as a person. Training purely for aesthetic reasons and trying to be perfect, but without the substance from behind. Be who you are and allow your body to reflect that." - David Smith, Stonewall Fitness

The Quotable Nic Cage

Season of The Witch follows a 14th century Crusader Behmen (Nicholas Cage) and his brother in arms Felson (Ron Perlman) leave the church crusaders and return to their homeland only to find it devastated by the Black Plague. After the Church finally catches up with them, they demand the two to transport an accused witch to a remote and sacred abbey. The accused witch is believed to be to root of the Plague. They must struggle to survive and reach the abbey - where they discover there are much darker forces at hand and saving mankind might be harder than originally thought.
