Pausch, Randy on running   

"When your legs are tired, run with your heart."

Anonymous on running   

"Games require skill. Running requires endurance, character, pride, physical strength, and mental toughness. Running is a test, not a game. A test of faith, belief, will, and trust in ones self. So hardcore that it needs a category all to itself to define the pain. When game players criticize, it's because they aren't willing to understand, not because they're stronger. Running is more than a sport; it's a lifestyle. If you have to ask us why we run, you'll never understand, so just accept."

"The best runs sometimes come on days when you didn't feel like running."

Anonymous on running   

"You don't run against a bloody stop watch, do you hear? A runner runs against himself, against the best that's in him. Not against a dead thing of wheels and pulleys. That's the way to be great, running against yourself. Against all the rotten mess in the world. Against God, if you're good enough."

Persons, Bill on running   

"There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be."

Sheehan, George on running   

"Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring."

Carter, Jimmy on running   

"Runners just do it - they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first."
