When You Work On It It’s No Longer Impossible

It’s impossible. But that would not stop me from considering it.
Here’s the guy who did the (illegal) high-wire walk between the towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. Dare you think about the impossibe? – especially (unlike in this case, I suppose) – something impossible that badly NEEDS doing?

 

Interviewer: I assume that an illegal or clandestine wire-walk, or any other kind of performance involving a major public building, would be much more difficult today.

P.P. It would be impossible. But in my life I work on the impossible, so when you work on it it’s no longer impossible. It becomes a set of problems to solve one after the other. Obviously the world has changed. New York has changed. Human beings on earth have changed, and it’s impossible. But that would not stop me from considering it.
