"If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon." ― Emil Zatopek Topic(s): Experience More From Emil Zatopek "Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater." "A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket." "If one can stick to the training throughout the many long years, then will power is no longer a problem. It’s raining? That doesn’t matter. I am tired? That’s besides the point. It’s simply that I just have to." More In Experience "The historian must have some conception of how men who are not historians behave. Otherwise he will move in a world of the dead. He can only gain that conception through personal experience, and he can only use his personal experiences when he is a genius."― E. M. Forster "Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that’s ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience."― Michael Haneke "If you sit in a position where decisions that you take would have a serious effect on people, you can’t ignore a lot of experience around the world which says this drug has these negative effects."― Thabo Mbeki
