Quotes about running
running encouragement thinking
If you don't have the ability or encouragement to use yourself in a physical way, you could become just another talking head. And talking heads run things.

Alice Walker

running thinking should-have
Maybe a hundred years ago our people should have run away from this place, I said... And then run from the next place and the next place and the place after that?

One minute we are part of the river, and the next we are joined with the sea. Alice Hoffman

running stars reading
When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I'd run to my room and put on the Rolling Stones as loud as I could.

We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal. Alice Cooper

running mistake wine
The spirit in the body is like wine in a glass; when it spills, it seeps into air and earth and light….It’s a mistake to think it’s the small things we control and not the large, it’s the other way around! We can’t stop the small accident, the tiny detail that conspires into fate: the extra moment you run back for something forgotten, a moment that saves you from an accident – or causes one. But we can assert the largest order, the large human values daily, the only order large enough to see. Anne Michaels

running thinking white
Think of a fine painter attempting to capture an inner vision, beginning with one corner of the canvas, painting what she thinks should be there, not quite pulling it off, covering it over with white paint, and trying again, each time finding out what her painting isn't, until she finally finds out what it is. And when you finally do find out what one corner of your vision is; you're off and running. Anne Lamott

Anne Lamott
