Quotes of 1975

Quotes taken from the authors in 1975

If he's having a good day and running the right race, nobody can beat Frank Shorter at 10,000 meters... nobody except me.

Steve Prefontaine

No one will ever win a 5,000-meter by running an easy two miles. Not against me.

Steve Prefontaine

I've been in international competition, and now I know what the big boys can do. You don't go out and just run. There's an offense and a defense.

Steve Prefontaine

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.

Steve Prefontaine

Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.

Steve Prefontaine

For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art.

Avery Brundage

As soon as you take money for playing sport, it isn't sport, it's work.

Avery Brundage

Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.

Avery Brundage

Sport must be amateur or it is not sport. Sports played professionally are entertainment.

Avery Brundage

The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people.

Avery Brundage

Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance.

Alex Rodriguez

I just don't see the light. Where is the light? What am I in this for?

Alex Rodriguez

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

Alex Rodriguez

This is how I define grace: you're on the main stage, and it looks like it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. That's where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know I'm prepared.

Alex Rodriguez

I had a great year and left my guts out on the field.

Alex Rodriguez

Golf, like measles, should be caught young.

P. G. Wodehouse

Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them.

P. G. Wodehouse

Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good.

P. G. Wodehouse

Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.

P. G. Wodehouse

Success comes to a writer as a rule, so gradually that it is always something of a shock to him to look back and realize the heights to which he has climbed.

P. G. Wodehouse
