1. 'We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.'
Emil Zatopek
实质上，我们马拉松跑者和其他人是不同的。如果你想赢得什么，去参加100米比赛，如果你想经历些什么，去跑马拉松吧。
2. 'The marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything. It has drama. It has competition. It has camaraderie. It has heroism. Every jogger can't dream of being an Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon.'
Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder
马拉松是一项有非凡魅力的运动。它包含一切。它包含戏剧的成分，它有竞争，有友情，有英雄主义。不是每一个跑步的人都能梦想成为奥运冠军，但是每一个人都可以梦想完成一次马拉松。
3. 'I tell our runners to divide the race into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart.'
Mike Fanelli, running club coach
我告诉我们的跑步者，把马拉松比赛分成三个阶段。第一阶段是在用你的头脑来控制你的奔跑，第二阶段你的性格决定你的奔跑，而最后一个阶段，你是在用心去奔跑。
4. 'The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed.'
Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ
你的身体不想去跑马拉松。它总是设法使你停下来，所以要有强大的心灵来保证你继续跑下去。你总是远远超出自己身体的极限，你必须利用一种策略来克服这种痛苦，这种策略既不是经验，也不是物质的准备，而是希望获得胜利的意志。
5. 'The marathon's about being in contention over the last 10K. That's when it's about what you have in your core. You have run all the strength, all the superficial fitness out of yourself, and it really comes down to what's left inside you. To be able to draw deep and pull something out of yourself is one of the most tremendous things about the marathon.'
Rob de Castella
马拉松最主要的部分就在最后十公里。那时候是真正触及到你内心的本质的时刻。你已经用尽了所有的力气，所有的外来的储备。问题归结到了你自我的内在还留存着些什么。能深入内心，把那部分自我挖掘出来，是跑马拉松最奇妙的作用之一。
6. 'The marathon can humble you.'
Bill Rodgers, winner of four Boston and four NYC marathons
马拉松能使你虚怀若谷。
7. 'Marathoning is just another form of insanity.'
John J. Kelly, winner of the 1952 Boston Marathon
去跑马拉松根本就是发疯了的一种表现。
8. 'To describe the agony of a marathon to someone who's never run it is like trying to explain color to someone who was born blind.'
Jerome Drayton
去向一个从没跑过马拉松的人去形容那种痛苦，就如同是向一个天生的瞎子去解释颜色是怎么回事一样。
9. 'I have met my hero, and he is me.'
George Sheehan
我遇到了我生命中的英雄，那个英雄就是我~~
10. 'Most people run a race to see who is fastest. I run a race to see who has the most guts.'
Steve Prefontaine
大多数人参加比赛是想决出谁跑的最快，我参加比赛时想同别人较量，谁最有勇气。
11. 'It hurts up to a point and then it doesn't get any worse.'
Ann Trason
当跑马拉松越过一个临界点之后，痛苦就根本麻木到被忽略了。
12. 'Tough times don't last but tough people do.'
A.C. Green
硬汉从不放弃，所以艰难时刻总能捱过。
13. 'There are clubs you can't belong to, neighborhoods you can't live in, schools you can't get into, but the roads are always open.'
Nike
你可能不被高级俱乐部接纳，可能无钱入住高尚社区，考不上想上的学校，但大马路永远是免费的，随便跑。
14. 'What matters is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.'
Dwight D. Eisenhower
决定狗打仗输赢的不见得是狗的分量，而是这一仗在狗心中的分量。
15. 'The gun goes off and everthing changes... the world changes... and nothing else really matters.'
Patti Sue Plummer
发令枪一响，一切就不一样了，世界不一样了，除跑无大事。
16. 'You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming.'
Frank Shorter
在你尝试另一次马拉松比赛前，你要忘掉你上一次的比赛。因为你根本不知道你将迎来什么。
17. 'Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible.'
Doug Larson
一些世界上最伟大的事业，就是由一些一根筋地要把不可能变成可能的人们完成的。
18. 'No negative thoughts cross my mind on race day. When I look into their eyes, I know I'm going to beat them.'
Danny Harris
比赛时我从不会突然产生消极的想法，我只是冷冷地注视着那些困难，我知道，我即将击垮他们。
19. 'The will to win means nothing if you haven't the will to prepare.'
Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner
不精于准备的人，只凭有胜利的意愿，赢得比赛根本就是空谈。
20. 'Men, today we die a little'
Emil Zatopek, at 1952 Olympic marathon start line
伙计，今天我们又得死一回了。
