Christopher McDougall To Quotations

...there was some kind of connection between the capacity to love and the capacity to love *running*. The engineering was certainly the same: both depended on loosening your grip on your own desires, putting aside what you wanted and appreciating what you've got, being patient and forgiving and... undemanding...maybe we shouldn't be surprised that getting better at one could make you better at the other.

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

it’s easy to get outside yourself when you’re thinking about someone else.

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

Ask nothing from your running, and you'll get more than you ever imagined!

We say the rarajipari is the game of life, ' Angel said. 'You never know how hard it will be. You never know when it will end. You can't control it. You can only adjust.

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

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