"What a man can do and suffer is unknown to himself till some occasion presents itself which draws out the hidden power. Just as one sees not in the water of an unruffled pond the fury and roar with which it can dash down a steep rock without injury to itself, or how high it is capable of rising; or as little as one can suspect the latent heat in ice-cold water."

"It ended suddenly for Brenda, more slowly for me. My runs began getting shorter and less pleasurable. I'd feel bad after only one day, or only a few hours, instead of four or five days.

A guy actually put some coke under my nose and I was able to say, "No, thanks," and turn my head away."

Sitting on that high hill alone in the solitude of many things, many rocks and little animals and ants, that word has no meaning."
