Christopher McDougall Thinking Quotations

Endurance, after all, is the only reason we even exist. We think of ourselves as nature's deadliest animals, but the truth is, a naked human is the biggest wimp in the wild. We have no fangs, no claws, no strength, and no speed.

If you don't think you were born to run you're not only denying history. You're denying who you are.

We are the biggest sissies in the jungle. Every other animal is stronger than we are - they have fangs, they have claws, they have nimbleness, they have speed. We think Usain Bolt is fast - Usain Bolt can get his ass kicked by a squirrel.

it’s easy to get outside yourself when you’re thinking about someone else.

We've got a motto here-you're tougher than you think you are, and you can do more than you think you can.
