“Think Easy, Light, Smooth, and Fast. You start with easy, because if that’s all you get, that’s not so bad. Then work on light. Make it effortless, like you don’t give a shit how high the hill is or how far you’ve got to go. When you’ve practiced that so long that you forget you’re practicing, you work on making it smooooooth. You won’t have to worry about the last one—you get those three, and you’ll be fast.”
― Christopher McDougall, Born to Run

“Selfishness is neither good nor bad—it depends on the way we are selfish as to whether it nourishes or injures.”

“What I want are words that reflect my heart, not my cleverness.”
