Then where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within.
Eric Liddell
I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure.
Eric Liddell
You, Aubrey are my most complete man. You're brave, compassionate, kind: a content man. That is your secret, contentment; I am 24 and I've never known it. I'm forever in pursuit and I don't even know what I am chasing.
Harold M. Abrahams
And now in one hour's time, I will be out there again. I will raise my eyes and look down that corridor; 4 feet wide, with 10 lonely seconds to justify my existence. But will I?
Harold M. Abrahams
That was the miscalculation of my life.
Harold M. Abrahams
He's out I tell you, you're all deaf - deaf and bloody blind! Aubrey I ask you, for God's sake!
Harold M. Abrahams
What do you mean, not out? You could have heard it from bloody Bournemouth! Come on, Liddell, my innings.
Harold M. Abrahams
And now in one hour's time, I will be out there again. I will raise my eyes and look down that corridor; 4 feet wide, with 10 lonely seconds to justify my whole existence. But will I?
Harold M. Abrahams
Aubrey, I've known the fear of losing but now I am almost too frightened to win.
Harold M. Abrahams
Protocol, Monty, protocol. He is here to show us what may be done, and, more essentially, what may not be.
Lord Andrew Lindsay
As well he should. He frightens the living daylights out of me.
Sam Mussabini
Well, when the right woman comes along, how would you feel if she pops the question? [quiet laugh] Ya'see, Mr. Abrahams, like the bridegroom, it's the coach should do the asking.
Sam Mussabini
Yeah, he's fast! But he won't go any faster; not in the dash, anyway. He's a gut runner, all heart, digs deep! But a short sprint is run on nerves. It's tailor-made for neurotics.
Sam Mussabini
Do you want to know why you lost today?
Sam Mussabini
You're over striding. Just a couple of inches.
