Quotes

  • The potential of the human body is immense. You can come out of some of the deepest, darkest holes if you keep pressing forward.
  • It's a hard, simple calculus: Run until you can't run anymore. Then run some more. Find a new source of energy and will. Then run even faster.
  • Every single one of us possesses the strength to attempt something he isn't sure he can accomplish. It can be running a mile, or a 10K race, or 100 miles. It can be changing a career, losing 5 pounds, or telling someone you love her (or him).
  • The point was living with grace, decency, and attention to the world, and breaking free of the artificial constructs in your own life.
  • I'm healthier and I can run longer and faster because I eat a plant-based diet. But I don't preach to my carnivorous friends or lambaste anyone who eats a baked potato slathered with butter and sour cream. Anyone who pays attention to what they eat and how it affects them will naturally move toward plants — and toward health.
  • Rational assessments too often led to rational surrenders.
