More quotes by Garth Stein
I’ve always felt almost human. I’ve always known that there’s something about me that’s different than other dogs. Sure, I’m stuffed into a dog’s body, but that’s just the shell. It’s what’s inside that’s important. The soul. And my soul is very human.
Garth Stein
It’s so hard to communicate because there are so many moving parts. There’s presentation and there’s interpretation and they’re so dependent on each other it makes things very difficult.
Garth Stein
Racing is about discipline and intelligence, not about who has the heavier foot. The one who drives smart will always win in the end.
Garth Stein
You should shine with all of your light all the time.

Here is why I will be a good person. Because I listen. I cannot speak so I listen very well. I never interrupt, I never deflect the course of the conversation with a comment of my own. ...I beg of you, pretend you are a dog like me and LISTEN to other people rather than steal their stories.

That which is around me does not affect my mood my mood affects that which is around me.
Garth Stein
In documentary films, you're a storyteller using found objects. You still have to have a story arc and all the elements that make a good story. It really helped me mature as a storyteller.
Garth Stein
Any problems that may occur have ultimately been caused by you, because you are responsible for where you are and what you are doing there.
Garth Stein
To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live.
Garth Stein
The car goes where the eyes go.
Garth Stein
Rain amplifies your mistakes, and water on the track can make your car handle unpredictably. When something unpredictable happens you have to react to it if you’re reacting at speed, you’re reacting too late. And so you should be afraid.
Garth Stein
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 Stein
Many of us have convinced ourselves that compromise is necessary to achieve our goals, that all of our goals are not attainable so we should eliminate the extraneous, prioritize our desires, and accept less than the moon.
Garth Stein
But what is worse, smelling the roast and not feasting, or not smelling the roast at all?
Garth Stein
Very gently. Like there are eggshells on your pedals, and you don’t want to break them. That’s how you drive in the rain.
Garth Stein
That which you manifest is before you. The visible becomes inevitable. Your car goes where your eyes go.
Garth Stein
The sun rises every day. What is to love? Lock the sun in a box. Force the sun to overcome adversity in order to rise. Then we will cheer! I will often admire beautiful sunrise, but I will never consider the sun a champion for having risen.
