Daniel E. Lieberman
“Eating sensibly and exercising don't guarantee long life and good health; they just decrease the risk of getting sick.”
Daniel E. Lieberman, Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding

Viktor E. Frankl
“Individuality can only be valuable when it is not individuality for its own sake but individuality for the human community.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything

Tim Noakes
“The marathon is less a physical event than a spiritual encounter. In infinite wisdom, God built into us a 32-km racing limit, a limit imposed by inadequate sources of the marathoner's prime racing fuel - carbohydrates. But we, in our human wisdom, decreed that the standard marathon be raced over 42 km.

So it is in that physical no-man's-land, which begins after the 32-km mark, that the irresistible appeal of the marathon lies. It is at that stage, as the limits to human running endurance are approached, that the marathon ceases to be a physical event. It is there that you, the runner, discover the basis for the ancient proverb: "When you have gone so far that you cannot manage one more step, then you have gone just half the distance that you are capable of." It is there that you learn something about yourself and your view of life." Marathon runners have termed it the wall. (Chapter 10)”
Tim Noakes, Lore of Running

Anthony Burgess
“is it better for a man to choose to be bad than to be conditioned to be good?”
Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

“Good listeners have negative capability. They are able to cope with contradictory ideas and gray areas. Good listeners know there is usually more to the story than first appears and are not so eager for tidy reasoning and immediate answers, which is perhaps the opposite to being narrow-minded...In the psychological literature, negative capability is known as cognitive complexity, which research shows is positively related to self-compassion and negatively related to dogmatism.”
Kate Murphy, You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters
