"Give me a junkie and a whore any day of the week. They're my teachers. Find me someone who has gone to the darkest parts of their own character where they were so close to their own self-destruction and found a way to get up and out of it, and I will bow on my knees to you, because I want to know how did you do it. How did you go to that such a place of self-neglect and hate and self-rejection and heal? You're my teacher. Who better than you, the alcoholics and the whores, to help someone like me who can't get out of that?" - Seane Corn
“All animals are equal but some are more equal than othersâ€
-The Pigs (Animal Farm)
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
~Mark Twain
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-Mark Twain
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness."
— Tolstoy
There is always an easy solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong.
— H.L. Mencken
I am constantly struck by the strangeness of reading works that seem addressed — personally and intimately — to me, and yet were written by people who crumbled to dust long ago."
-Stephen Greenblatt
For me, endurance training is exactly like turning a Styrofoam cup inside out. So long as you take it slowly you'll be able to do it. Try to rush things and - rip - you'll tear the cup. You are the cup.
Coach Gordo
Q: What's wrong with the world?
A: We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness. Leona Helmsley's dog made 12 million last year... and Dean McLaine, a farmer in Ohio made $30,000. It's just a gigantic version of the madness that grows in every one of our brains. We are monkeys with money and guns.
Tom Waits
If god invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken him completely by surprise.
