If it's all instruction, you get annoyed with it and bored, and you stop reading. If it's all entertainment, you read it quite quickly, your heart going pitty-pat, pitty-pat. But when you finish, that's it. You're not going to think about it much afterward, apart from the odd nightmare. You're not going to read that book again. Margaret Atwood
If you say you're going to do something, you do it. If you start it, you finish it. Yes sir, no ma'am. And you've got to have that kind of structure in your life.

The natural urge when running a distance is to push harder and finish sooner - to race against time. Every second behind a deadline is a little defeat. Joe Henderson
To finish off this whole Olympics by finally getting the gold medal, it's the best feeling in the world. Shawn Johnson
When I was in fact a child, six and seven and eight years old, I was utterly baffled by the enthusiasm with which my cousin Brenda, a year and a half younger, accepted her mother's definition of her as someone who needed to go to bed at six-thirty and finish every bite of three vegetables, one of them yellow, with every meal. Joan Didion

Winning is great, but being able to finish my last Olympic Games on American soil was very important.
