"There is no bad weather, just soft runners."

"The real purpose of running isn't to win a race, lt's to test the limits of the human heart."

Death is not really frightening. What really scars me is not living.

"Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative." Steve Prefontaine

"Qui ne s'est jamais laissé enchainer
Ne saura jamais ce qu'est la liberté."

"Je connais mes limites. C'est pourquoi je vais au-delà"

"When you ain't got nothing, you've got nothing to lose

"Courage charms us, because it indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world, that he is thinking neither of his bed, nor his dinner, nor his money, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought of his mind.(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
The only thing evil needs in order to ween,is good people to do nothing !(Edmund Burke‏)"
