I love my tribe, the Maasai are very good people and humble.

Sometimes when you get disappointment it makes you stronger.

I realized I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run.

It's something special to break the world record at the Olympics.

When I was a little boy, I always wanted to run. I loved competing with my friends.

Even if the pace is slow in championships, you can still sprint well and still power in the last 200, which is always the main part when the race is slow.

My family means everything to me and the birth of our daughter has enabled me to have more focus on my career and every time I compete, I dedicate my success to them.

Fantastic, I am very happy to be the fastest 800 metres runner in the world.

My focus in 2010 was on just running fast races. My focus in 2011 was for winning at the World Championships. This year has been a combination of the two so we'll see what kind of time it brings.

The weather plays a very big role. I have run very few races in the raining and the cold.

It only takes one thought in one moment to alter the course of your life.

It's a very old word, it means 'to breathe into.' That's how it works: An angel breathes into men and shows us what to play, what to draw. How to find the truth of who we are and why we are here.

I see dead Presidents. Lincoln, Jefferson, Franklin, and Washington.

To be Radchaai is to be civilised.

...in the end every one stands alone, and the important thing is who it is that stands alone.

Why are we working so hard to preserve Iraq, a fake country to begin with? Why do we care whether this fake country that was drawn on the map 100 years ago remains?

To love is to destroy, to destroy is to love. -Jace Herondale

I hate the fearful trimming of possibilities that age brings.

The world's holy texts are built on ancient oral traditions.

There is no knife that cuts so sharply and with such poisoned blade as treachery.
