Marathon World Record

Famous quotes containing the words marathon, world and/or record:

    In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    The world is filled with folly and sin,
    And Love must cling where it can, I say:
    For Beauty is easy enough to win;
    But one isn’t loved every day.
    “Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)

    Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
