Kathrine Switzer quotes

I could feel my anger dissipating as the miles went by--you can't run and stay mad! (Kathrine Switzer)
If you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon. View quote
Kathrine Switzer
I knew if I quit, nobody would ever believe that women had the capability to run 26-plus miles. If I quit, everybody would say it was a publicity stunt. If I quit, it would set women's sports back, way back, instead of forward. If I quit, I'd never run Boston. If I quit, Jock Semple and all those like him would win. My fear and humiliation turned to anger. View quote
