I 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.

You should shine with all of your light all the time.
Garth Stein
This is a rule of racing: No race has ever been won in the first corner many have been lost there.
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.
Garth Stein
But what is worse, smelling the roast and not feasting, or not smelling the roast at all?
Garth Stein
We too, must shatter the mirrors. We must look in to ourselves and root out the distortions until that thing which we know in our hearts is perfect and true, stands before us.
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
To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live.
Garth Stein
Those monkey-thumbs were meant for dogs. Give me my thumbs, you fu**ing monkeys!
Garth Stein
Anyone who has a dog knows that they have some very deep thoughts, that they have moods and emotions, they get their feelings hurt. It's not a far reach to give them opinions and values and long-term desires.
Garth Stein
[M]emory is time folding back on itself. To remember is to disengage from the present.
