We've created an unnatural form of running. it's not just the shoes, but we run on artificial surfaces - straight ahead, hard and steady - instead of speeding up and slowing down, reacting to the terrain with changes of pace and rhythm.

More From Christopher McDougall

The rhythm is below me, the rhythm of the heat. the rhythm is around me, the rhythm has control. the rhythm is inside me, the rhythm has my soul.

I have the idea that running shoes are based on a kind of cult idea - that our feet are flawed and we need shoes to correct those flaws. the shoe companies are in the business of selling shoes. but there's no evidence from running shoe manufacturers that they're right. there's no scientific data that running shoes reduce injury.

The truest definition of evil is that which represents it as something contrary to nature; evil is evil because it is unnatural; a vine which should bear olive-berries, an eye to which blue seems yellow, would be diseased; an unnatural mother, an unnatural son, an unnatural act, are the strongest terms of condemnation.

I'm just a man. i think people are reacting to something else when they see me. they're not reacting to me, eddie murphy. they don't even know me. it's just luck and the god in me they're reacting to.

In my culture, shoes are more or less the first thing women look at. women look at the build, and then they look at the shoes. if you don't have nice shoes, you don't have money. when i meet a lawyer, the first thing i look at are his shoes. if he has good shoes, he's getting my money.
Nice Shoes Culture
When i had no shoes i was comfortable - i used to run barefoot. when i wore shoes it was difficult. to run in shoes was ok, but at the beginning of my career it was hard.

Running Horse Passion
The world - this shadow of the soul, or other me - lies wide around. its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. i run eagerly into this resounding tumult... so much only of life as i know by experience... the true scholar grudges every opportunity of action past by, as a loss of power.
Running Lying Loss
If nominated, i won't run; if elected, i won't serve.

In trying to teach children a great deal in a short time, they are treated not as though the race they were to run was for life, but simply a three-mile heat.
