“Sometimes, the best way to help someone is just to be near them.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“There’s something so universal about that sensation, the way running unites our two most primal impulses: fear and pleasure.”
― Christopher McDougall, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

“When you can't answer the question, flip it over. Forget what makes something go fast--what makes it slow down?”
― Christopher McDougall, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

“People think I'm crazy to put myself through such torture, though I would argue otherwise. Somewhere along the line we seem to have confused comfort with happiness.

― Dean Karnazes, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner
