“The tram can run over you only if you are on the tram way! The darkness can run over you only if you are on the ignorance way!”

“But if these years have taught me anything it is this: you can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.”

“Vary your training, your running partners, and your environment. Only your imagination limits the ways you can spice up your running routine.”

“Sometimes, the only way to solve your problems in life, the only way to conquer your fears, is if you face them. If you face your problems, they just flee. But if you flee instead, run away from them, they only get bigger, and they can totally destroy you.”

“You know, there are easier ways to meet a guy than to run him over.”

“I knew then and there only that pretty young little things are like monsoon lilies; transient trams. Catch them if you can, but if you miss them, do not wail, a next one would be whistling round the corner, about to enter the La Gurre of your heart”
