The new Kenyans. There are always new Kenyans.

When I race my mind is full of doubts - who will finish second, who will finish third?

I believe in God. He is the secret of my success. He gives people talent.

I am still young. I have a lot of time. And if someone breaks my records in the future, I won't cry. That's sport.

Perhaps I don't give the impression that I'm hurting on the track. But that is because I am animated by an interior force which covers my suffering.

(Algerian athlete, 1996 Summer Olympics, on the 3000m world record) I think my 3:27 for 1500m is worth 7:21 for 3000m.

My real motivation is to reach 3:25... I am still young; I have a lot of time left in my career.

I run to be known as the greatest runner, the greatest of all time. I could not eat or sleep for a week after I lost in the (1992) Olympics. I have to win or die.

It was an extraterrestrial performance. It is very special to go below 4:50, but I believe I can do better.

Barcelona is now in the past. I was sick and boxed in, and that's understandable why I lost.

And then in life, you always have to try, and today, I may not have succeeded, but I am happy to have tried to beat my record.

THE LIGHT THAT NOW REFLECTS FROM WITHIN YOU RADIATES PURITY AND HOLINESS, WHICH CAUSES US TO BECOME A LIGHT TO THE WORLD.

It is almost impossible to be consistent with your goal, if your subconscious mind is constantly fed with negative perceptions of its road.

A man will do astonishing things for a woman he is ardent about.

You jump on a bike and start peddling. You fall down and you get up again. I've always been a 'learn by doing' kind of guy.

When someone tells me not to do something, I'll do it more.

I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.

On the other hand, I was very much interested in the way people behaved, the human dance, how they seemed to move around each other. I wanted to play around with that.

I just want people to see what I deem as a war for no reason, but only for greed.

Let Silence speak to you about the secrets of the universe.

I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track.
