Olympic Flame
"The flame was conceived as a symbol of the Olympic spirit as well as a symbol unifying Olympia and the host city of the moment, unifying the ancient and modern Games.
The fire not only stands for a pure ideal, because it is born fresh in the concentrated rays of the Greek sun, but it stands for man's supreme accomplishments: no animal but man has harnessed fire.
The Olympic spirit of brotherhood, pursuit of excellence and understanding, is said to be embodied in the flame. The flame unites as it is passed from hand to hand. It rises, pursuing the highest places and it illuminates the dark corners of misunderstanding."
