“***A SMALL THEORY***
People observe the colors of a day only at its beginnings and its ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

“...there was some kind of connection between the capacity to love and the capacity to love *running*.

― Christopher McDougall, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
