Text Quotes
My introduction to track racing was through the background of cross country running, which is not a sport perhaps as popular in America as it is in England (Roger Bannister Quotes)
The reason sport is attractive to many of the general public is that it’s filled with reversals. What you think may happen doesn’t happen. A champion is beaten, an unknown becomes a champion. (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I was playing rugby and the other games English school children do, and there was an event in which races were run, and I won these by a considerable margin (Roger Bannister Quotes)
Life was very simple. My parents had come from the North of England, which is a fairly rugged, bleak, hard-working part of England, and so there was not the expectation of luxury (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn’t have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I wanted to be a neurologist. That seemed to be the most difficult, most intriguing, and the most important aspect of medicine, which had links with psychology, aggression, behavior, and human affairs (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I’ve always been very impatient. At age 10 I frankly found life boring, and I can remember age 9 having the awful thought, as it seems now looking back on it, A war! That should liven things up a bit! (Roger Bannister Quotes)
The Athletic Association competed against the University. So there was an event. You cannot break world records unless it is an established event, and you have three timekeepers, and the whole thing is organized (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I trained for less than three-quarters of an hour, maybe five days a week - I didn’t have time to do more. But it was all about quality, not quantity - so I didn’t waste time jogging, ever (Roger Bannister Quotes)
My introduction to track racing was through the background of cross country running, which is not a sport perhaps as popular in America as it is in England. (Roger Bannister Quotes)
You get very tired, and there was a certain amount of pain and you slow up. Your legs are so tired that you are in fact slowing. If you don’t keep running, keep your blood circulating, the muscles stop pumping the blood back and you get dizzy. (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I had always wanted to become a neurologist, which is one of the most demanding vocations in medicine. Where do you stop, after all, with the brain? How does it function? What are its limits? The work seems unending. (Roger Bannister Quotes)
Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn’t work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science. (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I was playing rugby and the other games English school children do, and there was an event in which races were run, and I won these by a considerable margin. (Roger Bannister Quotes)
It’s a question of spreading the available energy, aerobic and anaerobic, evenly over four minutes. If you run one part too fast, you pay a price. If you run another part more slowly your overall time is slower. (Roger Bannister Quotes)
Athletics is a luxury (Roger Bannister Quotes)
It is the brain, not the heart or lungs, that is the critical organ (Roger Bannister Quotes)
The mile has all the elements of a drama (Roger Bannister Quotes)
Sport, like all of life, is about taking your chances (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I found longer races boring. I found the mile just perfect (Roger Bannister Quotes)
We run, not only because we think it is doing us good, but... Because it helps us to do other things better (Roger Bannister Quotes)
Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn’t work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I came from such a simple origin, without any great privilege, and I would say I also wanted to make a mark. It wasn’t until I was about 15 that I appeared in a race (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I couldn’t disappoint people. I did not want to fail and exhaust myself, because I was the kind of runner who trained so little that I couldn’t race again within another 10 days (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I enjoy singing, and the instruments which truly move me are the horn, the trumpet and the cello (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I raced supremely well. I felt I was as well fitted to do it as I had ever been, and as perhaps I might ever be. I went climbing three weeks before, because I was feeling fed up with running (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I think that is a universal adolescent feeling, trying to find your place. The adolescent who is perfectly adjusted to his environment, I’ve yet to meet (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I was always a great bundle of energy. As a child, instead of walking, I would run. And so running, which is a pain to a lot of people, was always a pleasure to me because it was so easy (Roger Bannister Quotes)
I was involved in music, acting, and some running, but my firm wish was to become a doctor. That was the formative age when I had decided on the pattern of my career (Roger Bannister Quotes)
If there was the opportunity to climb a mountain, or to go ballooning, or some adventurous activity, I would always be keen to do it. I loved the countryside (Roger Bannister Quotes)
