We say the rarajipari is the game of life, Angel said. You never know how hard it will be. You never know when it will end. You can't control it. You can only adjust.

If you don't think you were born to run you're not only denying history. You're denying who you are.

If you don't have answers to your problems after a four-hour run, you ain't getting them.

You don't have to be fast. But you'd better be fearless.

We run when we're scared, we run when we're ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time.

Make friends with pain, and you will never be alone.~Ken Chlouber, Colorado miner and creator of the Leadville Trail 100 mile race

Ask nothing from your running, and you'll get more than you ever imagined!

Blaming the running injury epidemic on big, bad Nike seems too easy - but that's okay, because it's largely their fault.

We wouldn't be alive without love we wouldn't have survived without running maybe we shouldn't be surprised that getting better at one could make you better at the other.

Suffering is humbling. It pays to know how to get your butt kicked.

Don't fight the trail, take what it gives you. If you have a choice between one step or two between rocks, take three.

If any belief or societal dogma prevents peaceful societal change or progress, that society will inevitably be victims of miserable violent changes.

Too much mercy... often resulted in further crimes which were fatal to innocent victims who need not have been victims if justice had been put first and mercy second.

In every life there comes a point when you have to make a decision about how you will live.

If you are going to wait for someone to encourage you to do something, you just better give up.

No matter what happens, you always need someone else to look after you at the end.

Misery, depression, elation all mine, refine confinement all my design.

There are really only so many foods and so many ways you can prepare them.

Circumstances sometimes require, that rights the most unquestionable should be advanced with delicacy.

If you have a setback, Don’t take a step back- Get ready for a comeback!

When I began to write seriously, 40 years ago now, my chosen form was the novel.
