But you can't muscle through a five-hour run that way; you have to relax into it like easing your body into a hot bath, until it no longer resists the shock and begins to enjoy it.

If you don't think you were born to run you're not only denying history. You're denying who you are.

We were born to run; we were born because we run.

If you don't have answers to your problems after a four-hour run, you ain't getting them.

The reason we race isn't so much to beat each other... but to be with each other.

You don't stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running.

We've got a motto here-you're tougher than you think you are, and you can do more than you think you can.

Running is the heart of what it means to be human.

Anyone can do running. Running should be easy. It should be fun. It should include everyone. It shouldn't be a punishment for eating cheesecake, which is what we've turned it into.

You don't have to be fast. But you'd better be fearless.

If you can run six miles on a summer day, then you, my friend, are a lethal weapon in the animal kingdom.

When a good change is flowing towards you, don’t stand like the river stones before it!

You move forward because you have to. Life doesn't stand still. It makes you move on until you want to move on, you know? It'll run you over if you don't move.

My dad goes through war novels like I go through boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

A man is not a bird, to come and go with the springtime.

Good composition is merely the strongest way of seeing.

The man who preaches the cross must be a crucified man.

I don't know if it's ever OK for someone to be selfish. Perhaps there's a time and place to be self-centered, but I think selfish never wins the race.

My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what's the purpose of reading, and maybe that it's not that cool to hate something just because it's popular.

I've been a victim in every film I have done so far. It would be nice to play someone who doesn't get killed for once. Then again, I am getting really good at screaming and fake tears...

I really have to feel a sense of freedom in my storytelling.
