From "The Art of Racing in the Rain":

"That which you manifest is before you"

"Somewhere, the zebra is dancing"

and my favorite,

"Those monkey-thumbs were meant for dogs. Give me my thumbs, you fu**ing monkeys!"

    Politically-Freedom is not the lack of Justice but the proper use of justice.

    Socially-We don't buy em we just sell em, we don't eat em we just smell em.

    Engine building-Throw it up in the air, if it comes back down it's too heavy.

    Bonneville car building-If you can throw it up in the air it's too light.

    Life in general-If it can't kill ya, it can't thrill ya.

There is a quote attributed to Hemingway but probably authored by Ken Purdy.

There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.

Corporate management is like a cesspool. The big chunks tend to rise to the top.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.
