Quotes by Malcolm Costain (?)

“I was a round little man with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit. I didn't really run, or even jog. I waddled. I was a Penguin. This was the image that fit. Emperor-proud, I stand tall to face the elements of my life. Yes, I am round. Yes, I am slow. Yes, I run as though my legs are tied together at the knees. But I am running. And that is all that matters.”
― Malcolm Costain, The Savage Ponytail: And other curious phenomena on the jogging track
