“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
Steve Jobs

“Running is not, as it so often seems, only about what you did in your last race or about how many miles you ran last week. It is, in a much more important way, about community, about appreciating all the miles run by other runners, too.”
–Richard O’Brien

of the Top Ten Reasons We Put Our Feet Together in a Circle:

“9. The proximity of our feet is a recurring reminder of what has brought us together, and the circle is a symbol of the enduring bond we have formed.”

I counted till they danced so
Their slippers leaped the town,
And then I took a pencil
To note the rebels down.
And then they grew so jolly
I did resign the prig,
And ten of my once stately toes
Are marshalled for a jig!

– Poem by Emily Dickinson

Martin Luther King, Jr.

A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
Lewis Mumford
