Danh ngôn của Steve Prefontaine (Sứ mệnh: 5)

To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.
I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.
A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they're capable of understanding.
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 than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.
When people go to a track meet, they're looking for something, a world record, something that hasn't been done before. You get all this magnetic energy, people focusing on one thing at the same time. I really get excited about it. It makes me want to compete even more. It makes it all worthwhile, all the hours of hard work.
It's not who's the best - it's who can take the most pain.
I have a positive mental attitude, and I think I'm divine, but I also think it takes a heck of a lot of blood, sweat and tears.
