"Some people create with words, or with music, or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, "I've never seen anyone run like that before." It's more then just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better then anyone else. It's being creative." -Steve Prefontaine "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." -Steve Prefontaine   "I don't just go out there and run. I like to give people watching something exciting." -Steve Prefontaine "A lot of people run a race to see who's the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts." -Steve Prefontaine "Having a true faith is the most difficult thing in the world. Many will try to take it from you." -Steve Prefontaine These were sent in by email. I think these express what Pre thought. "Pain is weakness leaving your body" -USMC "If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough" Steve Jones "Run so hard you come in with bloody feet and missing toenails" (Sounds like Pre to me) -Rob Decestella "Man imposes his own limitations, don't set any" -Anthony Bailey "Human beings are made up of flesh and blood, and a miracle fiber called courage" -George Patton       If you find more quotes please email them to me!
