“I had always wanted to love Eve as Denny loved her, but I never had because I was afraid. She was my rain. She was my unpredictable element. She was my fear. But a racer should not be afraid of the rain; a racer should embrace the rain. I, alone, could manifest a change around me. By changing my mood, my energy, I allowed Eve to regard me differently. And while I cannot say that I am a master of my own destiny, I can say that I have experienced a glimpse of mastery, and I know what I have to work toward.”
― Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

“This is a rule of racing: No race has ever been won in the first corner; many have been lost there.”
