"For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the
ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I
might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another

- Sir, why are you running?
- Why are you running?
- Are you doing this for world peace?
- Are you doing this for women's right?
- Or for the environment?
- Or for animals?
- Or for nuclear arms?

"They just couldn't believe that somebody would do all that running
for no particular reason. I just felt like running."

"I had a lot of company. My Momma always said you got to put the past
behind you before you can move on. And I think that's what my running
was all about. I had run for three years, two months, fourteen days,
and sixteen hours."

I am finished with communal theories, had enough of them in the
country where I came from. Not my shot of vodka. I cannot care less
about my neighbours as long as they keep quiet from 23:00 till 7:00.
Anything else - get high, fuck your labrador or burn down the house -
I don't care.
