The footing was really atrocious. I loved it. I really like Cross Country; you're one with the mud.

I succeed on my own personal motivation, dedication, and commitment. My mindset is: If I'm not out there training, someone else is.

Running reminded me exactly who I am and what I am made of.

Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body.

The freedom of Cross Country is so primitive. It's woman vs. nature.

Every athlete has doubts. Elite runners in particular are insecure people. You need someone to affirm that what you are doing is right.

Determination is like a muscle. If you do not use it regularly, it fades away.

We might embody those qualities we desire to possess by embracing them, over and over, until the line between seeming and being is no more.

Man has always seen himself the peak of creation. The part of the universe that thinks. The purpose for it all. It's no doubt a gratifying view, but the universe may have a different opinion.

Love is a damagemade to the heart, violence, fate thats written, Changeable by distance, Breakable by time...!

We need to focus on the kind of human beings we want to have and the kind of society in which we want to live.

Work and pray, live on hay, youll get pie in the sky when you die.

My favorite definition of the mindful path is the one the reveals itself as you walk down it. You cannot find the path until you step on to it.

People's vocabulary has expanded.

My father was very strict, but mostly I just didn't know how to behave on a date.

But contrary to what some people seem to think, I was never a bully. I was just a hard man.

I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.
