| Making Connections: Richie the Caseworker by Christopher Febles | 3 | 26 | Mar 13, 2023 04:32AM |
“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
― You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
― You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
“All fiction is largely autobiographical and much autobiography is, of course, fiction.”

“When I'm running I don't have to talk to anybody and don't have to listen to anybody. This is a part of my day I can't do without.”
― What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
― What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

“I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”
