People speak of a will to live. They rarely speak of a will to die. Because people are afraid of death. Death is dark and unknown and frightening. But not for me. It is not the end.
Garth SteinIโve always felt almost human. Iโve always known that thereโs something about me thatโs different than other dogs. Sure, Iโm stuffed into a dogโs body, but thatโs just the shell. Itโs whatโs inside thatโs important. The soul. And my soul is very human.
Garth SteinI know this much about racing in the rain. I know it is about balance. It is about anticipation and patience... [it is also] about the mind! It is about owning one's body... It is about believing that you are not you; you are everything. And everything is you.
Garth SteinTo be a champion, you must have no ego at all. You must not exist as a separate entity. You must give yourself over to the race. You are nothing if not for your team, your car, your shoes, your tires. Do not mistake confidence and self-awareness for egotism.
