“Why not risk your life, if you don't want to live anyway? Why not risk your life if you'll never be happy no matter what you do?”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

“I don’t think it’s merely willpower that makes you able to do something. The world isn’t that simple. To tell the truth, I don’t even think there’s that much correlation between my running every day and whether or not I have a strong will. I think I’ve been able to run for more than
twenty years for a simple reason: It suits me. Or at least because I don’t find it all that painful. Human beings naturally continue doing things they like, and they don’t continue what they don’t like. Admittedly, something close to will does play a small part in that. But no matter how strong a will a person has, no matter how much he may hate to lose, if it’s an activity he doesn’t really care for, he won’t keep it up for long. Even if he did, it wouldn’t be good for him.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“Every race proves a new opportunity to educate myself about what it means to be a runner and what it means to run.”
― Jill Grunenwald, Running with a Police Escort: Tales from the Back of the Pack
