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

Everywhere we go, people recognize me.

But I don't believe in guilt by association.

Nobody has ever said anything about Marion Jones every using performance-enhancing drugs and they never will.

I did pretty well at the Sydney Olympics, but those were my first Games.

We realized that the only persons we can truly trust in this world is each other and our families.

Cats are useless.

I am lucky to live in Austin, so I can enjoy the live music.

For those of you who worry that I am a skinhead and anything that goes along with that, I am not.

I wouldn't mind being taller or stronger.

I met Evan Rachel Wood, James Woods, Kevin Bacon at Sundance. Steve Buscemi is pretty laid-back. I met Judy Greer in Vegas, and she was cool.

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

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

Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.

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

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.
